I say "manually-approved registrations" because automated registrations can be circumvented too easily: just make a bogus account, then login, then cause the same trouble, in very little time. in a manual system, the result/effort ratio, the delay, and the feeling of being supervised, are factors that tend to repel spammers, as they switch to simpler targets, that is, other automated systems.
If you add reviewing to the publishing workflow, then you don't have to worry. It requires some work, similar to approving messages on a moderated mailing list, and this task can be assigned to co-admins. It's not that much of an effort since wiki publishing generates less traffic than email. ZWiki, used on plone.org, has everything required, except for a small modification to re-enable workflow publishing.
I don't know enough Zope and afaik you're the Zope expert around here. I think this could be a topic at pdmtl#8 if only you were available enough to join us in such meetings just like you were last winter.
I intend to be more available and get back to PD. It'd be a pleasure to talk about Zope if it can be useful.
