The patron selfreg form should record the origin IP in the patron record
To inform the blocking of IP ranges from which bad actors are abusing the /selfreg form, record the origin IP in a varfield or new fixed field on the patron record.
If a varfield, the default of an x-Note would suffice, but make this varfield tag customizable via one of the administrative interfaces. Historically speaking, Admin Corner would have been the go-to place to make this customization.

We had to turn off our self reg form because of this issue.

Also include CAPTCHA or similar functionality to help mitigate the abuse of the /selfreg form, which is what we're stuck with using at the moment (no account creation via Vega/LX Starter yet).

This would be incredibly useful. So many bad actors these days, it's like watching an episode of Full House.
