To go with the first post approval hack, this hack might also be of interest. It's a captcha variant, but uses a selection of photographs where the new user has to select them under a criteria before they can register.

With a suitable population of images (elite/oolite ships vs real spaceships or TV ones for example) it could I think be quite a good defense, against both bots and even perhaps some less knowledgable sweatshop captcha-crackers.

Lots of forum memberships via google (most of which suggest they might be OK) but also two hits on SFS, and a spammy name of course. Might be OK, probably not.

I'm having a weekend away. :) I'll be back sometime Monday afternoon, so won't be spam-spotting till then.

Needs looking at.
SFS and google give some odd hits, but nothing tangible. Never having logged on is an indicator of foul play though.

Nothing substantial apart from never having logged on, but please take a closer look.

(a faint whiff of spamminess but right now nothing definitely positive … under observation)

I'm back home now and reporting for duty.

<tempting-fate mode>
At least it looks like it's been fairly quiet while I was away (why did I say that! :roll: )
