I get these all the time.... Jan 1, 1980 birthdate... and they arent using the normal register because my required fields arent filled out either.

I put in 2 custom registration fields that have to be filled out. Zip Code and Location.

If someone gets in without putting in a recognizable US location they get canned in a hurry. I also found that whatever bot was doing it didn't have enough sense to put in a zip code and location. I've not had many new ones in a few months.

Same here. Found any solution?

I think the post you quoted was the solution.
