Well, messing around with the registrations process is a time-honoured
nomic tradition. It reached the point in Agora, where if someone
registered /uncontroversially/, someone would nonetheless initiate a CFJ
about whether it worked as a joke (on the basis that registrations were
nearly always contested), and such joke CFJs had eventually happened
often enough that they were made illegal.

Incidentally, Agora amended its registration rule a while back because
we thought we'd found most of the loopholes in the old one by now, and
wanted a new one with corresponding new bugs.
