Not all real ones of course...  :D

We've just had our 5000th registration, so that would be 1191 real members, and 3809 Spammers who I've rejected.  You'd think they'd have something better to do...  =)

Spamming should be a capital offence .

If it helps, I have multiple persona. I could easily count as 4 or 5 on my own!

Well done though!

You've done well to keep the spammers out, what a nightmare having to go through nigh on 4000 of the buggers.

While we're on the subject, anyone looking for chinese leather handbags?  :D :d

A quick look shows around 700 of the 1189 have logged in within the last 12 months, so that's not too bad I think?  There are quite a few who have never logged in at all, but they're generally all email addresses which I recognise from customer orders.  Maybe they use it as a way of receiving the monthly newsletter?

The 651 of us still can't get a Centurion! Pendraken is obviously not a democracy.

We could do that, but it might put some people off?  Usually I do a few searches, one through Google, one through our own emails, etc. and see what comes up.  If both searches draw a blank, then I leave them hanging for a while in case.  It's worked OK so far, with only a couple slipping through the gaps.

You should be careful. Some foreigners can read but it's difficult for them to write english ( may be for me too, but you've been nice enough, nobody told me..  ;)  )
They may suscribe only to follow some threads.
