Is that barrier to entry really necessary? It looked like the recent spammers were creating pages - could page creation alone be restricted, or was there page-editing spamming that others cleaned before I saw?
And it looks like spam page creation is continuing unhindered by this new requirement, but it prevents me doing anything about them. Cheers m'dears(!)
Can you really not confirm your email address via a confirmation email? Or am I misunderstanding your meaning here? Kind Regards, Chris
