Yeah, and that's actually what I do when he rapid fires accounts like that. Right now, "new user moderation" as it's called is on, so no one can post until I grant them access.
I hesitate to leave it on full-time, though. The problem is that 1) someone has to check it regularly and 2) people are less likely to post when they don't have the instant gratification. I worry that people won't look for the confirmation e-mail and won't come back if we do that full-time (see the Orange Mane).

High speed through AOL would be banned as well.
