The past few days I’ve been getting a ton of spam “signups” (but strangely no spam from these accounts yet). They seem to all have unique IP addresses which is strange (correction - many have unique addresses, some have multiple). I can tell they are spam beacause of the names, and because my new user registrations have suddently gone up from 6 to 10 a day to suddenly 30+ each day for the past two days. Any ideas on how to control for this?

Seems like a problem coming…

HERE is what the accounts look like below:
