I'm not in control of the site's software, so here is how I have it set up, which has worked out pretty well.
1. User registers.
2. Gets an email to verify.
3. Clicks link to verify, their username is then held in a queue. From there, I inspect every one, and delete the obvious spammers. Then, each one that appears valid, I cross-check their IP to their location. Ones from China, Pakistan, and the obvious ones are deleted. The rest are accepted.
Many of these current spammers are from old registrations prior to implementing the policy. This one may be fresh, but you can't catch every one. That said, the moderation team is doing a great job at keeping the place clean with what we have to work with.....
