Post Re: fake accounts
Some new stats, about 1500 failed bot signups over the past 3 months,
and a further 600 fake accounts that went through (about 500 got rejected because
they were from Russia / used a Russian email address, etc.).

About 90 fake accounts were registered (accounts that never solve a single puzzle,
only some of them change their country setting).

The bulk of these are from Russia, even though the Russian signup page
has a big sign saying that signups from Russia have been disabled.. [huh]

If these accounts from Russia were actual normal accounts, I'd probably be rich by now.

I have no clue why it is important for whatever organization there to keep creating fake accounts.

I have half a mind to just block access from Russia 100%.
