That is a good idea, but actually I am doing a little better than that!

I have a setting that informs me by email everytime someone makes a new account on our wiki. Everytime I notice a new account is created, I immediately log in here, and see if there is any reason to block it quickly.

Then I look to see if several accounts were made near the same time.

Then I watch to see if they create an account and are inactive for some time. For example, the Damien account today was created, but he did not post anything yet, so that is staying in my email inbox until they become what I would consider a trusted member.

I am sure the other sysops have their own processes too, but please rest assured I am aware of every new member of our wiki and am watching for new accounts on a regular basis.

Thank you for your concern!
