Well we could make them fill out a captcha first in order to learn the fact that they cannot sign up. Why give them that information "for free" up front? :evilgrin:
Basically if they are seemingly human, then tell them what it is that they do have to do in order to get someone to create an account for them.
Maybe bearing in mind we know they are willing to deploy captcha-solvers to do it, so whatever it is should bear that in mind. Which might be why we want a sample article or whatever. (Though I guess bots could have libraries of those too.)

We could even trump the people paid to fill out captcha's by using some of these? http://crapcha.com/ :evilergrin On the forums I run... to stop spam just some simple questions works that vary... I have set some maths questions on ppcointalk and that works for me on that site.. not had to remove spam posts for 5-6 months now. FuzzyBear The real problem is IO, each time the form is submitted whether successful or not it still attempts. Removing the registration page will make that issue disappear.

Sounds good. For the very few who do useful edits but do not want a user page, they can always ask an admin to make a new account.
Hmm, maybe it could go based on activity instead. If the user has been active, don't remove. I noticed the bots aren't making any posts/edits/etc. at all so that should kick them all out, while not affecting anyone who's there legitimately. Not sure how DokuWiki handles the tracking of activity though. They cannot post on those accounts due to the admin block on them based on their user group. It is just causing IO errors due to the amount of simultaneous registrations. But none of that will matter since we will just keep the registration page from being available to the bots now.

somethig similar?! Im sure online merchants are doing somethig to avoid bots or have to bots been able to perpetrate all registration security out there?
I have never seen a perfect method of keeping them out. But considering everything, since we do not NEED people to register, our best offense is to remove the option for the registration so the site isnt pounded constantly. Now I am looking into filtering the user accounts out to remove the spam ones.
