That's how far the horizon is, not how far you can see.

Let us hope we won't need to use it too often :D

If we find soambots on the wiki do we report them here too?
I don't even care to find out what you're doing wrong, but I'm sure you're doing something wrong.

pizaaplanet is in charge of the wiki, so if you find a sodam bot, I figure this is probably a good place to put it.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE. IGNORE RAMA SET.

Surely there should be none left? No one but me and Parsifal can make new accounts at this point. If I missed something in my cleanup, PM-ing me will probably get the fastest response.

Ok.  I was just planning for future cases if you guys ever went with something more automated in account creation.

I hope to enable account creations at some point. I recently experimented with a module that uses the same database as the one we use for the forum, but that only blocked a fraction of bots. I'm sure there must be a solution that works, so I'll keep looking, but until I get something, I only see two possible ways to go: restricting account creation to administrators only, or allowing any registered user to make an account for new users. Perhaps we should consider the latter approach.

Does this need to be sticky'd anymore?

Seems like this is a well controlled. No one has posted in here for over a year.
