New users?

I would guess, from the name of the latest member, that it's a bot of some sort at work.  


datingmannn -- This just sounds like the name that one of those, "Hi!  Are you lonely?  Pathethic?  Looking for a sexy young teen girl to spend ridiculous amounts of time with you online, who will find you irrestibly attractive and charming?  Come over to Dating Man Website and sign up now for the low, low, low introductry price of 99 cent for a three day trial membership!  (Normal rates of $999.99 per second apply afterwards, with cancelation fees of $2500.00 being charged for anyone canceling this membership.)"

If I had to guess, I'd say the bot went through all the sign up process until it got to the last stage, answering our excessively hard question about how to display text to the screen in BASIC!!  It couldn't complete the question, and is now awaiting some manual activation, which....  well... Pete is missing... and Steve doesn't log into his admin account more than once every three or twelve months...  And none of our other admin care about doing the manual activations....  so.. umm...  It may take them a while to finish registration for full posting priveldges unless they can complete that question and verify their email address!! 

Yeah, LOL, datingmann was glaring at me right in the face and I didn't make that connection. What happens to user accounts that never get activated? Do they get deleted after a predetermined amount time where activation has not happened or does an admin need to manually delete them? Just curious.
