Is there any progress on this matter? With the current batch of spam bots, it
would be good to be able to rule this out as one of the holes in the defence.

We are seeing such a persistent level of spam bot attacks that seem to be
concentrated from within certain IP networks (within a number of /16 with some
repeat IP, others single use IP) and one wonders whether this matter is part of
the issue.

>From an IP address we get a blurt of account creations, some the same account
multiple sites, and/or multiple accounts. Generally focuses around the same set
of wikis, though it has been noticed to be spreading to more wikis, no obvious
pattern.

Nothing specifically is showing for XFF.

Thanks.
