:::: Maybe the user creation process itself can create the user page. Sure, it can be spammed, but then we're talking about ordinary spam rather than page-creation spam. [[User:CRGreathouse|CRGreathouse]] 17:43, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
::::: Yes, creating the user page (or making an explicit exception for it) should be fine. A problem with existing page spam is that the page title itself -- a part of the url of the page -- is spam. And correcting that takes admin privilege. So giving each user permission to create their user page, or a talk page on an existing page, should be fine -- or at least, that's not what current spammers are doing. And it's easier to clean up spam that fits into an existing url scheme than it is to clean up spam that has spam in the url. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 17:52, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
