I had a look at the solutions in that list, and the first one is a poor solution, but it does answer the question. The others aren't really irrelevant to the original question, I think they just show a lack of experience - except the last two, which are indeed irrelevant, and I down voted them (something I don't normally do, but posting rubbish then posting a link to that rubbish as a solution is not on).

I think at this stage a warning instead of account closure is probably more appropriate?
