Yeah, it's a problem. I do try to prune the list by hand - but the more safeguards I've put up, the more the spammers seem to get around them. Usually there are a few hundred showing up in a month, so, over time, a few slip through that add up to a lot.
I'm planning on upgrading the board to a new version of the software that *should* make this superfluous... they've just released a new, stable version that should make the transition relatively seamless. Once installed, it should cut back the level of fake accounts.
I just deleted about 600 or so (maybe 800), but I doubt that's half of it.... Although I'm still hoping we really *do* have members from Antarctica.
