--- Comment #12 from Ajraddatz <[email protected]> ---
We can already CheckUser any successfully created accounts, so no change from
the status quo there. 

I would argue it is needed. If I globally blacklist a common string found in
usernames being created by an LTA, being able to see the IPs he is using to try
and create new accounts could allow for a proactive response - being able to
block before they have even made an account to vandalize with. This is
especially important if they are creating attack names. 

Even modified to not include the IP, the log would be useful to ensure that
entries aren't blocking obvious good-faith names. This would also mean that
sysops could view it. I'd certainly be fine with either option.
