This was a good idea, saves a lot of time corresponding with each other individually.
About the user activation procedure.
I suppose we might as well try changing the procedure as has been suggested by both admins, so as users can activate there own accounts through an email link, (though I can see some advantages of the current method) could see how it goes at least anyway, thus no objection here if you guys think we should change to user activation instead.

I think it should be user activation as I'm pretty sure most bot systems that *could* affect us do not handle the user activation thing well. I'm finding as well when people sign up they often don't put anything in their information so their profile doesn't define them as a real person, yet it's up to us to decide whether or not they should be activated.
I suppose that's a yes, then :)
I'm going to set it to user activation. Also, it's friendlier to real users, since they can have their accounts up and running fast.
The best way to detect possible spammers is through their emails. They usually have strange domains (from east europe countries, mostly, .ru (Russia) , .ua (Ucrania) or .pl (Poland) ) and names like "jfufsife" or some gibberish like that. Inf one manages to get through, we'd delete the accound and set the ip or domain in the banning system.
