The guy doing this has some serious mental health issues, as he has created about 200 accounts to cause trouble on that board. I am sorry you are the brunt of some of his mischief. I am sure Dimitry can fix this.

Dear Kirk, We recently made some highly effective changes strengthening our systems that combat this sort of spammer. His avenues towards succeeding in member registration become fewer every time he does succeed in registering a new account, and our system becomes better at spotting and thwarting him. Its a law of diminishing returns game for this spammer now, and through this cat and mouse game, he is actually helping to improve our registration system's capability of spotting undesirable users. Regards, @Dima

Dear Kirk, I did finally get around to writing code to automate the cleanup of recs from banished accounts. If our troubled friend comes back for more, we might integrate it directly into the "Roast" button that SI Ron and members of the spam patrol can access. If someone on your NNVC board is interested in becoming a spam patrol deputy, PM Ron or me - you can have the honor of roasting his account, all posts and recs instantly, whenever the poor sap pops up, yourselves. Regards, @Dima
