An idea for a new feature
I'm actually surprised this becomes a problem only now for us: we have a bunch of bots registering on our Engelsystem. They should be pretty harmless, I doubt any of those idiots out there wants to bomb OSS conferences.
Still, maybe it'd be a good idea to add some form of protection to the registration site, such as a captcha, email confirmation or others.. If it helps, mediawiki has an extension written in PHP: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-ConfirmEdit.
