I vote for disabling user self-registration, with a big notice  
explaining why and promising to create accounts promptly. This solves  
the problem and doesn't require people to do extra work because of  
spammers.

I don't think we get enough new users for this to be a problem. When  
we do, let's revisit the issue.
