59.92.141.36 is the IP he signed up to my site with. Either a really bad spammer, or a bot looking to harvest email addresses.

Just a heads up.

Edit: Also, I'm assuming that "Asia Pacific Network Information Centre" is an overseas proxy, because I'd say a good 50% of the nonsense accounts that sign up on my site resolve to that IP if I throw it at the lookup tool at www.arin.net.

Thanks, just found him and banned his ip and range in iptables in linux! Thanks!

Just an additional heads-up, I have come to a point where I instantly ban any account that has the word "Man" for its biography.

Bunch of dirty spammers.

Is there a way to automate that? Because you're absolutely right - I just banned two this morning that had "Man" for the biography.

I'm at the point where I'm going to block anything from a .info or .tv email address as well.
