    Hey,

    I've got a bot creating accounts, how can I limit/stop this? It's making 30 odd a day without ever logging in so I can't get the IP address.

    Thanks,

    couple of things come to mind:

    1) while certainly not 100%, are you using Captcha? You can also modify the default images/fonts it uses to make it more difficult to bots.

    2) Do you have a free trial or what product are they using to register? Many charge $1 for trial.
