It's not a bot - it's a person - they have registered here and at many of my boards (20+ sites at least) looking to put home page links (links back to their sites) to increase their google ranking. He prefaces the usernames usually with 00 but sometimes aa etc.... so it will appear on page 1 of the user list.
I threatened him with Legal action and he stopped at my site.
But it's a human, because he goes through the process to verify the email address and makes up various profile information to look legit (even chooses avatars, locations, birthdays etc....).
I've tried banning the IPs - but they move around alot - mostly out of the netherlands I believe.
<knock on wood> All has been quite on my site since I altered my "Rules" at signup. See the big bold section for what I added to stop him. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
