So I have an update on this matter and it is very important that its read.
I have again turned on email activation and it looks like we might have successfully caught some spammers this way. However I will keep an eye on this all and see if it lets through those who actually are new players. I have decided this might be easiest by doing the following; disallow weird email providers.
You see, most spammers does not use the "normal" providers, they tend to use Russian providers or other bull crap we've never heard about. Since they register on multiple forums per day to spam they likely never check these addresses and thus never activate their accounts.
Thus if I it really isn't working (which it should) and you as a new player register with a weird mail provider, I will not activate you manually if your mail doesn't arrive.
Please use another address, like hotmail, gmail, yahoo... etc.
