I'd just Google'd markkavin and makwarne01. I hadn't seen the third one yet. They seem to be spam accounts; they both had no more than one post in all the other forums they joined, and they were all posts on "favorite _______?"

Isn't there a way to put a 24-hour delay for posting after registration? (Real people could still use email to get support.) And I think that phpBB has other features to fight spam, e.g., a custom mandatory question. The spambots are automated, so its best to fight fire with fire.

That doesn't help. We're still getting spam on the wiki, from accounts created in May (before I turned off wiki registration). And those are accounts that never posted before.

Maybe the Spam Hammer mod would help.
