I am getting a dozen Spam registrations a day. They all have my Yahoo email address.
Here is an example

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.

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.

I started having the same problem with Classic. I can tell you, since I upgraded to Threads, I've had very few spam registration attempts, and ZERO get by me and actually get approved.
