Maybe they get cleaned up after I'm already awake a while? I'm usually checking before 9am Eastern Standard Time.

Any word about this?

I sweep away the remnants mid mornings and ban all the ones not already banned.

There were a lot this morning. Whew. I go to their profile and do the Spam/Clean method. Does all the dirty work for me.

I deny about 6 - 7 new registrants a day that IP match Spammers.

Opened up my "alert" list this morning. 5 out of 8 were useless spam bots.

Watxhout, we're being attacked! Done everything I can to try to keep all of them out but some will always slip in. All removed for now.

So it occurs to me that every spam bot is picking New York as where they are from. Anyway to auto ban anyone who picks that?
