People register all the time with fake e-mails and then again, most people that just plan on trolling you board will sign up with a hotmail account they will use once to activate the account then never post or use that e-mail account again.

It happens a lot, is there anything you can do about it, not really unless you moderate every new user to your board. I think Eva does this, he moderates every member to make sure they are not using a hotmail account or a yahoo account. I personally think that is a great idea seeing how 90% of those that sign up with a hotmail/yahoo/other FREE e-mail account are 12 year olds that come to you board to:

1. Waste space
2. Waste time
3. Spam
4. something that pertains to the above not listed

It is very annoying and gets there very fast, although if you have 20 new sign ups a day (or more), moderating new members can be a pain.
