Responding to Abd's points: We're operating under very different parameters than, say, a Wikimedia-operated wiki like Wikiversity. In particular, we don't have the infrastructure to deal with user creation spam. There are big advantages to sharing spam fighting resources with Wikipedia.
I imagine that using some spam-deterring plugins would go a lot of the way. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam . I don't know this, though, as I haven't administered any Mediawiki sites myself.
