Hi folks,

As discussed a short while back, I have now changed the OpenSimulator account creation process so that it

1) Requires the user to answer a simple spambot-defeating question.
2) Requires admin confirmation.  This is in the unlikely case that a human programs a bot with the answer.

This appears to be working in my testing but please report any issues encountered.  The login prompt text has been 
changed so that it's no longer pointing people to request an account on this list.

For anyone interested, this is using a combination of the ConfirmAccount [1] and ConfirmEdit [2] plugins.
