Unfortunately, we have to assume random requesters are spammers nowadays. I have the freebie wiki set up so that one has to have a confirmed account in order to post links or make new pages, I have a sitenotice up saying as much (the sitenotice changes once one is logged in), and the new user welcome message also says as much. (And Miraheze is already blocking known-spammer IP ranges.) Less than 10% of new accounts are followed up with a request to confirm the account.
So, yeah - assume the worst.
