Description Andrew Bogott 2013-02-20 18:21:37 UTC 
Just now Greg was trying to create an account with shell name 'greg' but we already had a greg.  Rather than telling him that he needed a different shell name, it was displaying 'Incorrect or missing confirmation code.'

So he kept retyping the capcha and kept getting the same error message and... it was really dumb.
