Hi. Thanks for noticing. I have deleted about 200 accounts. I sent Julien D a message to see what more can be done.

Thanks.

Those look to be set up by bots- programs that comb the net, register accounts and then issue spam.

I've mentioned his before, but why not make it mandatory for the first post of new users to be on mod preview? Meaning, the first post always needs to be read and approved by a mod. Doesn't take time and that way, the spam never shows up.

It does take time. Management nightmare. I had manual approval of accounts for a while. That helps with the spam, but it's too much for me to handle.

Thank you, Julien D for your hard work on the site.

As we can all see, the number of new spam accounts is down to about zero the past few days. :supz: :supz: :supz:

You're welcome, but besides the 2 week long Vietnamese invasion, I am just a thread mover. :-)
