I was counting the amount of new members we have today that have yet to activate their account, I got to 57 in the past 7 hours and then gave up counting. Nothing suspicious there in the slightest. hmmm

We had a few days of it a month or two ago, male first name with what could be part of a last name after it. We laughed recently about how fussy the activation form is but it seems to be working well against this bot that gets to that point.

The member's list looks like we were given out as a boy's school assignment. Who's been doing what? 

Girls don’t like poetry. 

It’s all boy’s names lol, only one of a dozen activated so far

They are bots. If you look back in this thread I wrote about little light verse about it

I'll check it out

Yes. They are bots. They are usually distinguished by a proper first name followed by a few more letters. (Paulhhyus). I purged a handful of them this morning but it's a bit of a tedious process because I need to confirm they're bots first. Currently showing 99 accounts awaiting activation. LOL.

Wasn't there at some point a time limit to activate and after that they just go ppffftt? Do you have to manually delete?

we are a workshop so that's why the feedback's as it is. we could be one of a million vanity sites and have gazillions of posts with gushing feedback on how good everything is.

when someone joins they get an activation email. most sites including poetry sites have it. it's a way of checking an email exists. i usually try and delete account not activated after 24 hrs. the one that's up now joined at 1 26 am my time. 24 hours is way long enough to activate.

So seems he was manually deleting them. Is it less tedious to delete rather than ban? Then if they were just slow they could rejoin. Not that any of these will, just saying.
