WTFBC currently gets from 100 to 200 registrations (globally) per day from spammers and bots. Consequently, I was too busy and let them lapse. I now have a new process for reviewing/approving registrations.
1. Filter IP address to get new registrations from Canada only.
2. Ignore email addresses, usernames or ISP that look suspicious
3. Physically email non-suspicious registrations asking them why they want to join WTFBC
4. Activate new registrations with valid email responses
After reviewing 200 lapsed Canadian registrations from Jan 2018 to present, only 1% were valid.
