• Glowhost Spam-O-Matic (Checks email and IP against known spammer blacklists. Make sure you DONT have the username checking enabled)
• Mandatory custom fields (industry related, for verification)
• Once email verified, they're moved to a temporary group. Then the mods manually move them to their final security group, and send them a personal welcome email. (based on membership status to our trade org)

The above tools stop 99.9% of them.
