for now

O.K. So, thanks for all of the helpful, pertinant information about this particular batch of spammers.

* Looking through the thread, a horrid realization dawns on self *

OMFG, I've become what I hate the most! I've become a spammer!

* Runs off to cry in a corner *

:p

in the last week i have had 400+ spam account registrations.... D:

Bearing in mind that doubles my userbase!

In the past 2 weeks, despite spamming my site almost everywhere I visit, I've had maybe 3 spammers register. One hasn't posted yet so I don't know if they actually are, another was obviously not really a spammer, and the last volunteered himself into the spammer group. This is despite having next to no restrictions on registration (you don't even need a valid email address).

Maybe you should start advertising that you're tracking the spammers. Works plenty well for me.

You may be onto something.
