Very good. And can confirm it works.
Thanks for fixing and protecting some more against those awful socially 
challenged spammers!

One issue:
on first login with phabricator to e.g. userbase, on the form to enter a new 
account name or pick an existing account, if picking new account and entering 
a name which is already taken, there is no feedback besides a blank page. So 
one has to guess there was a name collision.

Thanks again
