Good question.  I deleted all these *porn* asterisk usernames created in
the last day or so, I also deleted three acccount previously created
with 'VisitorNNN' usernames.

At this point I don't think it has yet to be a big problem.  I will take
responsibility for monitoring these for now and deleting them as they
appear.  Also it's worth checking with the Mantis community to see what
others are doing, I doubt we are the only target or even the biggest
one.  If all else fails I think I can do some minor things to make the
signup form more bot-resistant.  I'm always reluctant though to modify
the Mantis source if I can avoid it, I really don't want to have to have
to track Mantis versions closely.
