Spammers register on phpbb forums etc but they dont verify the signup by
clicking on the verification link in the welcome email as the spammers
use a bogus email address and dont receive the welcome email .
www.blah.com/?43543654365436
www.blah.com
43543654365436
If separated would this not make things a bit harder for the spammer
bots to verify the signup & then auto post spam to the forum .
As spamming methods evolve like everything else - isnt just a matter of
time the spammers figure out a way to receive the welcome email and
verify the signup .
