Description
In order to reduce possible email abuse we should forbid the creation of multiple users associated with the same email. This is to allow for email-based recognition of fake/malicious users, for example.
Also, users that create a new account with the same email might be just missing a "password reset" procedure instead, so it would be better to propose an alternative.

When refusing to create such an account, a message should clearly state how to contact an administrator, as with the mantra-based registration in its current incarnation.
