Wonder if you can help me please.

Last 24 hours i have had an influx of "new" members.  one has posted spam to a website.
another  couple have seemed to have joined every forum on the web but never posted.

dennichristianthegreate 
Balallar
Oksamits
ViagraED

These 4 if you google are members of so many forums  :o

anyone else had these join the last  day or so ?

GamerssHawars

Effoxyexpen
DugnentyDum
dreptsterz
DodoHelp
AlexDitsKememom

Are they bots.

I had member approval but set it to Activation now

..
the Dreptster one just made a post  with a link to a dress site..

Yep, I have gotten much the last 5 days or so and many mentioned above.  I use some sites databases and ban them if they check out.  SMF?  You said :  "Added some more antispam checks on registration to check against spammer email,ip's,usernames"  Very cool but do we need to add/tweak this ourselves in the admin or is it just in place?
