Re: Reporting spam
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...

Anyone for some antique shopping in Kazakhstan, with a 21-year-old consultant?

Re: Reporting spam
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

Re: Reporting spam
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.
