 My next plan is to add a https://www.google.com/recaptcha to the page. I wanted to avoid a captcha, but I now don't think there is any alternative. My next plan is to add a https://www.google.com/recaptcha to the page. I wanted to avoid a captcha, but I now don't think there is any alternative.

 +===== Later (21/8/2018) =====
 +
 +There is now a recaptcha on the registration page. This has slowed down the volume of registrations, but not eliminated spurious ones. I have also added gmaail.com to the list of quietly dropped domains.
 +
 +It turns out there is also a problem with having registrations subject to administrator approval. When an existing member changes their email address, the account is set back to PENDING and they need to reconfirm their email address. If registration is subject to administrator approval, this also requires approval, BUT for some reason the email to the administrator fails, so the site member is left in limbo.
 +
 +For this reason I've changed back to automatic approval. The admin still gets emails for fresh registrations, and can retrospectively delete.
