Could be a daily thing now though? Is there picture verification on sign up?

Yep, there's image verification and email verification - it's a real human that's doing it.

Damn, he must be very bored. I suppose the next step would be member verification, but that would be a big job in itself!

A couple of months back I was verifying every new member by hand but it was up to 10 a day or so (real members) and no spammers... so after a few weeks I gave up and put it back to normal.. I still check every-single-member has filled in the 'car' field in the sign up.... if they put anything other than a real car then I ban them instantly. Sadly - this guy was active before I was even awake

Thanks Neil!!!!

Mass bannage, easy.
Im not saying it's something to be done just asking if thats the next step to stopping spam or is there something else, thats all.

I saw the scumbag early this morning and sent him a love letter via PM whilst he was still posting.
