I don't know how useful/active this website is but I stumbled across it yesterday when investigating the logs of my own website:
http://www.botscout.com
Essentially, it's a database of known spam bots. I guess it's not that useful if these are actual humans registering. Anyway, thought I'd post a link.
EDIT: here's another one that a quick Google search just revealed:

sumaniuot:

... and while I'm in an uncharitable mood, I think this is a spammer too. There are a very large number of "sumaniuot" memberships out there in forumland, and nearly all of them are single-post, "Hi, I'm new here" types.
Interestingly, I see it tried to edit its one and only post here (dated 25 October) on 9 November – presumably to try to add a link.

Hi Darkbee… SFS is already well used here, but the other link may be helpful… thanks.
Uncharitable on St Andrew's Day, Disembodied... who'd have thought it.

To be honest, without Google reminding me I wouldn't have remembered. Not a big deal up here!
I'm now 100% certain that "sumaniuot" is a spambot, though.

Agreed... it's dead!

Back again ... although now I'm having doubts. The name makes me massively suspicious but there are various forums around the place that carry posts from a person/people using the same name, e.g.
here. Although most, if not all, seem to be about finance in some respect, they don't seem to be your typical spambot output. I leave it to DH and EV to decide: that's why they get paid the big bucks.

Sshh… don’t tell them that.
A tricky one this… as Disembodied says, the name screams ‘spammer’, but there’s no actual evidence, as such. He/she/it is a member on another
game forum (the exception from the other forums, which are all financial), but has made no posts, in over a year. A few posts show some knowledge of Linux… even the IP address is clean, according to SFS. Still… I have to agree with DH, I think. If you’re reading this, tradetaxfree, don’t be offended… come talk to us (or e-mail me in my sig).

On another board, we often just PM suspicious new members, it's working pretty well. Spambots just never reply!
