It seems almost too simple, with the answer in the heading of the registration page. But if it stops the spambots, marvellous!
I registered "testuser2" but haven't activated it.

New users are rare, but not extinct. As SketchyGalore and Reuben have proven over the past month. Their ability to PM proved invaluable to their approval.
The further possibility is to add a new user group, with permissions to PM only, and not submit posts. Any new account registrations go in there. Peter Stock said he wasn't flooded with PMs even though his forum thread to new users said to do so.
Or, that if new users by default go to the "registered users" group, then the existing members get shifted to an "approved user" group with posting permissions, and the registered users group is denied.
