about 9 other new "members" look suspicious. New accounts since the middle of the day yesterday. Those funny login names jump right out at me.

I made a slight change to the verification process yesterday that will cross reference new users IP addresses against a few widely used spam black lists. We'll see if that helps.

Eleven on the first two pages I'd give the boot to. They look suspicious. If I can't pronounce the screenname or come up with an idea of what it is, must be a bogus account.

You'd be surprized how many 'different' names there are, they must mean something to them. And how many people have been signed up for a long time without posting, I've seen up to 7 years. One person has been signed up for almost 5 years and finaly made a post the other day. Can't go by just their names.
