Should we tag it as Spam to kill those users? It seems there is a bot which is able to create accounts…
At the moment they all have a similar topic about rip DVD, though I bet will get in viagra soon… Is there a way to shut down their web sites?
Maybe it needs a sort of quarantine for new users, human reading of their first posts before they show up in the forum…
I bet a bot can’t create a valid post…
At the moment it seems enough to look for “rip DVD” in the topic and delete the user…

I must add, I receive them through a news feed, most of the topics are deleted of course, but the newest one not yet…
