    I can't think of any humorous or cool images I'd like to upload, so I'll just have to catch scammers for now.

    It's weird to look how many people registered similar usernames to my old one, and my current one. I must have made a lot of people angry.

    I run a vb forum, most spam loonies used the same d.o.b, something + **80, usually untraceable ip & addy, so we blocked all newbies, kept em penned up in the top intro section, until someone verified them and they posted within a week, then delete
    Did well on my members numbers though for a while.

    Seems like a good idea, I'll see what others (including D.Parker) think.

    Have you messaged him?

    I think this is a good idea. It would block all the accounts that are for spamming or scamming, or are never used.

    I mean, why bother registering on a forum if you never intend to use the account?

    There are lurkers out there who don't want to post, but want to read and learn.

    You can read the forums without registering.
