### Please say more [[Elassint]] - is it not a worry to have spam accounts sitting in the database?  Best, [[MarkDilley]]

# <s>[[mw:Extension:ConfirmAccount]]</s> — ''Pro:'' can be used to stop spambots from creating accounts, think of this ethos of having a door bouncer on guard at a nightclub – ''Con:'' needs active Sysops/Bureaucrats to monitor new account requests (but surely it is better to prevent trouble, rather than letting everyone in, and then stopping the mess and clearing up spam and vandalism) [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 01:48, 15 March 2013 (PDT)
## '''Question:''' can this be toggled on and off? [[MarkDilley]]
### Don't think so.  The default config is for only Bureaucrats to control this, but permissions can also be granted to Sysops - so as long as we have a regular patrol of sysops - this should work well.  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 02:01, 22 April 2013 (PDT)
#### So if not something sysops or bureaucrats can change, I want us to take the next smallest steps to trying to solve the problem and it feels like confirm edit is a big hammer, so I would like to try this after all these other extensions are tried. ~~ [[MarkDilley]]
#####ConfirmAccount is useful for (semi-)private wikis, but I think it'd be overkill for WikiIndex and it's most likely repel plenty of new and eager human editors. Sure, it'd be effective in stopping spambots, but at what cost? --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 06:44, 28 April 2013 (PDT)
