--- Comment #15 from Jasper Deng <jas...@jasperswebsite.co.cc> 2012-07-17 03:05:39 UTC --- I don't believe a bot would be productive; it wouldn't stop the mass creation of spam accounts that pollute the user lists (not all spam accounts match the regex I tried to use in my abuse filter and title blacklist entries). I also don't see how fully turning off account creation by anonymous users would make the wiki harder to use, especially if the deployment wiki alone was also given the ConfirmAccount extension. Existing global sysops/stewards on the cluster would not have to be subject to any of this; we could also create a global account creator group if someone needs to test account creation. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
