Description
In order to avoid the automated creation of accounts by SPAM bots, it should be included a reCAPTCHA field in the creation form (as has been done already in the profile section). Adjoining you can find a patch that adds this extra-feature to the account creation form and action PHP files. It follows the same structure and style that can be found in the profile PHP files (the patch uses most of that code).
