== Spam accounts ==
Hi Arrow!  Thanks very much for your help trying to block auto-generated accounts.  I just had one question: How are you determining whether an account is a spam account or not?  What I tend to do is look at the IP addresses for each new user, and if I catch one that has two or more accounts created in a recent period of time (a month or two), I flag the accounts.  But if they've only created one, my confidence isn't so high that they are spam because it's too hard to tell.  What method are you using, maybe it's better than mine?  Thanks!
