I'm deleting like 5 or 10 new spam accounts on here per day these days. It's strange. I don't know what's attracting them to this site, and I have yet to see any comment spam (maybe there's another weakness that I haven't had time to discover yet?), but I'm deleting them all the same. Some of these accounts even get verified, which tells me that there's a person at the other end of the email, or else a very sophisticated script. If it was a script, though, I'd expect all the accounts to be confirmed, but we're hovering around 30%, I'd say.
I'll work on upgrading my security in the next couple of days, but if someone is paying humans to register, it's going to be a losing battle. I just wonder what they're trying to do. How do real sites deal with this problem?
