Spam accounts?

I see nine

all from the same @ zeroe.ml email addy.  time for a new sign up restriction   

[Jesse J]

what sign up restriction you think. also why would someone want to sign up a million accounts for this little enthusiast forum

[Pete M]

spamming is all automated these days.  their computers will target everything and anything they can get into. 

 

all I need to do is an "*@zeroe.ml" to the email restrictions and they all go away.   

 

until the next batch using a different email of course.    years ago this used to be a daily occurrence but we now have an anti-spam program that does a decent job.
