Is there away to stop users from abusing the Register with server, Some Created like 600 users on my site spamming me or something? and I got a bunch of users registered with abusive names and 600 spam emails

I took a screen shot so you could see

So..... Whats the question? How to fix it? Why they did it?

1.

delete from nuke_users where username like 'wankers';
delete from nuke_users where username like 'u_suck_fuckers';

2. Because kids have nothing better to do.

Doesn't NSN Your Account have an option for Admin approval for people registering? I used the 650 version back when I had Nuke 6.5 and it worked like a charm. There are many different versions for Nuke. Just type in "nsn your account" into the search function:
[ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

Naw I know how to fix it, just kinda wanted a way to stop them from doing it, Like ban them after so many created ?

By default don't the users have to activate their account thru the confirmation email?

yes, it was odd they created over 600 accounts in like 5 min, it was like they had a program doing it for them, they were using the same names but with different numbers at the end and it seemed as if they Involved my Email address with it cuz I had over 600 emails about account creations

I found they ip with protector and ban them but just woundered if anyone has herd of this and how to stop it
