Thanks for the patience guys. The spam accounts are EXISTING account that signed up before. I haven't let a single new member in my forum in 72+ hours. These accounts are from prior sign ups.

I tend to see this happen each year. No specific time or anything. Massive spam activity, then followed a quiet whole year. Last year it happened too. So I am guessing it's that time. I'm going to change some registration verification question now. I'll change report post time interval to a smaller number. Please continue to report these posts and last but not least, big for trips and frost cleaning these threads up and keeping The370z clean

I am going to change it but it only affects registration from this point on. All these spammers are from the past that are already member. I have not let anyone in last 3-4 days. ( I already had new members on moderation queue "on")

I wholeheartedly support the use of drone strikes on spammers. You'd only have to blow up one or two to make an example.
