You could also add that admins need to approve new accounts.. so you don't have to delete the members that look like obvious spam accnts..

No problem, you just posted in the UBB.threads area. I'm sure a Moderator will move this post to the UBB.classic area. wink

If they are all arriving with the same email address..., isn't there a duplicate email check with classic?

So a unique email address is required.
