And, in my opinion, a solution for this problem should be first priority.
If I visit as a new xoops user this main website of xoops and I recognize, that they have problems to fix this, maybe I go away.
No reason to panic!
Last week we had a concentrated spam attack, so we've increased temporarily the minimum pause between postings to slow these guys down, till they run out of email and IP addresses for registration. Right it seems to be OK, but we are still monitoring it, and hopefully soon we'll go back to normal.

Some ideas from my side:
1) in user management there should be a button "Ban user" and then the email and IP should be added to protectors ban list
Yes, that's what we're doing it, so it was question of time till they run out of email and IP addresses.

2) the spammers often use the same mail domain (e.g. "...@mail.ru). it should be possible to add such maildomains to registration blacklist
Most registrations were from @gmail accounts, which you obviously don't want to block

3) each user should get a flag for trustworthiness (depending on the rank or the numbers of good postings,...). Depending on this flag also the time for "Why not take a break ..." and so on
4) adding captha methods (like google reCaptcha) to Xoops core
That's what we've discussed with Richard couple of days ago - if you're a new user, and have less than X messages posted, you time between messages is 10 min, if you're between X and Y, then 5 min, and anything above Y, no limitation. But we're open to other suggestions...

Ideas are nice and good, but what's would be better, are actual solutions
So if anybody wants to go and implement something, please do and show us your code...
