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!!!!
