500?! Just from July? :shock: Eech ... if we needed another reason to keep the ReCaptcha up, there it is right there.

We probably get about 1000 inactive accounts a month - me and EV agreed to leave the last week's worth - just in case it's people slow to use the confirmatory email. This also ignores the attempted account set-ups where the spammer has supplied an invalid email and therefore can never use the confirmation email...

Right, that's it, I've had enough - I'm banning all emails coming from *@sina.com, it may be China's 3rd biggest domain, but we've not had one genuine member, but I've deleted hundreds of spammers using it. Grrrrrr

No hits on google or SFS, but I think the profile says it all.

Just so you know what a fantastic job you guys are doing - here's a list of the 20 inactive accounts I've just deleted, just from August 6th (1 week ago today):

poARBIMAJAIGREE, Disposal Management, EmemsspissE, uccio, Layedrads, MahaliaHogengw, Mosque2007, Enharasal, pulutnu, alofastowef, ghjkowey, intatridemior, sypeexpower, InsatawsLot, werbDrexSwedo, dualsdeendhek, DTmustande, evosonryGor, Inhetty, Muladonamal

And if you look back to see how many you guys tagged on August 6th itself (another 10) - that's 30(ish) a day, 900+ a month

So keep it up and thank-you.
