It's easy for a system administrator to find out all the accounts with that email address and block them. We could also block that domain from address verification, too. I'm not friend of limiting access to the tools (eg. "please wait 1 hour for sending another mail"), but it could raise a notice in the logs if it surpasses some threshold. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
