The change will hurt new Mwiki users, but it seems to be needed to
protect our Mwiki.
+1 also from me. Don't wait here, just act when you already know what to do.
I agree. The time volunteers (thanks!) are spending on deleting spammers
can be better spent in other ways. Let's just make sure that
registrations can be approved easily (e.g., ask them to write to ooo-dev
with "Mediawiki account request" as subject, or similar). We should then
remove the limitation, if still active, on new users not being able to
post for the first days after registration.
Additionally the captcha function should be improved as Herbert stated
already.
And also a big thank you (!) for you and your little sysops team for
defending on the front-line.
