[Box Backup] Boxbackup Wiki abuse?

Yes, I've seen it too, I think we all have. The question is what we can do 
about it, without closing our wiki to new registrations, which makes it 
much less useful.

I haven't hacked mediawiki but perhaps we can make it request a password 
from new users, that they can get from our website or from the mailing 
list?

Otherwise we could just live with it, since it doesn't actually damage our 
content. Like spam, it may be a fact of life in open communities.

Cheers, Chris.
