Could not agree more. If you KNOW somebody registered with a fake email, delete them! Thats what I do. On all my forums I have one iron rule: You got to have a valid email address registered with the forum, otherwise I will delete your account.

Q: How do they register in the first place if the email address is faked?

Oh, and yes, install spambot stopper. That does it for me. And just in case there is someone coming through the spambot stopper I have a list of email providers I do not allow since they are mostly spam emails anyway. (Yahoo.com) is on the short list getting onto that list. Currently I have 80% of the would be spammers to come and try to register with a @yahoo.com address.
