As a last-resort emergency measure, we might also want to literally shut down the site automatically if to many people try to join in a given day until we've found better ways to handle this.

We could just shut down new account creation rather than the whole site.

That's what I sa-

Huh, guess it wasn't what I said.

This has been done by many sites, and appears to be a useful tactic.

I agree: anyone wishing to shut down this internet website should be required to register numerous accounts within a one-day span, and all requests meeting such criteria should be automatically anonymised and approved.

That's a really good point I didn't think of. Hopeful something like not allowing more than one register per IP adress per day would fix it...

I like your idea of adding a requirement that they spoof IPs.

Hey! It's a trivial inconvenience! But yea, it's not really enough.
