There are many of us who watch and can do this (at least 10 "administrators")

As long as requests can avoid a black hole, I don't have any other concerns with manual registration.

        Hi

        We receive tonne of spam in form of registrations everyday and some of
        bots have become smarted that they even activate their
        profiles. It has to be manually deleted and its tedious. I would
        therefore like to remove the 'register' link from pw front page
        that will stop the spam as I have already experimented with it a bit.

        Same is also true for wiki. We should make the registration process to
        be manual since that will put some end to registration spam.

        I am open to other ideas to stop spam without locking registrations.

        The registrations will still happen but should be done manually.


    I don't have any problem w/ manual registration, but I do have a concern.
    Manual registration often times becomes a black hole for people.  You send
    off a request to get registered and if the one person, who in their spare
    time monitors it happens to be on vacation for three weeks it just 
disappears.

    If we do this, we need to come up with a way that a group of people can add
    to the registered users.  Perhaps even allowing all registered e.V. members
    to do it?
