[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Prevent mechanical signups by malicious users (Issue #4307)

> Do you have any evidence that these are scripted signups?

The speed of accounts being created before rate limiting was introduced (1000s of users) suggests yes.  After rate limiting, we're still seeing some sequential examples (like 20495461 and 20495462 above), suggesting scripting.

>  tech support queue in OTRS

I don't think a fixed 24 hour delay would be a good idea for all sorts of reasons, but surely we could do something - perhaps another queue in OTRS just for simpler things such as "approve a self-deletion request", handled by more people?
