This is not really what I want. I don't want other people to not be allowed to create accounts. What I want is to prevent people from creating accounts whose email address matches a pattern. In my case (today) the interlopers are all on the .info TLD Another thing that would be wonderful would be if the account creation could be completed only by responding to a confirmation email, the same as if you were signing up for a mailing list. But, I don't want to disallow everyone from signing up as a default. BTW, I should mention that all of the spam that I'm getting is not only coming from the .info TLD, it's also coming in despite TextCha being enabled. That never used to be the case. -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have .0. happened but none stranger than this.
