Default Re: What's up with all of the new users?

They are spammers and what they try to do is to hijack the mailsystem in the forum. Doing that they can send out spammail from this system. Eventually resulting in that Internet Service Providers ban this site from incoming mails.

There are ways of stopping these bastards from doing this but it require some rework of the code.

The simplest way of stopping them is to stop the automatic registration and require a Admin approval of every new user.
