Do you have some suggestions? It's hard to see what we can do about this
sort of (presumably manual) spamming where people are prepared to go to
the trouble of registering and confirming an account beyond deleting the
accounts.
We are now logging the IP address used to create accounts so we can look
for patterns but I'm not hopeful.
