Description lucasbfr 2009-03-15 10:39:16 UTC 
It appears that even if an IP is blocked with "account creation blocked", a registered user can create a new user using Special:Userlogin/signup regardless of the block and their user rights.

They still can't edit, but this can be disruptive.
Comment 1 OverlordQ 2009-03-15 10:48:08 UTC 
I just tried this on my local wiki and I can't reproduce, it gives me the usual:

'Account creation from this IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) has been blocked by OverlordQ.'

This is while logged in as a normal user.
Comment 2 lucasbfr 2009-03-15 13:08:32 UTC 
nvm, that's indeed not the loophole that is being used. I'll try to find out how an user was able to do this and will open a new bug
