The admins always deactivate spammer accounts.

Also, when spam comes from the same IP address, which has happened a bit recently, the admins block that address (meaning that nobody can register as a member using it).

Most of the spammers are not real people. Rather, they are spam-bots; software written by unpleasant people which *automatically* registers as a "member" in various Net forums.

This is very common. I notice it every time I am here and get rid of them when I can

Yeah it's probably because of the large gaps in time between each time I've logged in, so I'm only just noticing now, sorry my badd :-)
