I think if someone looked at each app. to sign up at this site that it would cut down alot of these "machines" that sign up "people" into the site to spam us?? I think (and maybe I'm wrong), the spammers are driven by computers, thats why when you go into some sites to buy tickets to a concert, they have you type the WiErD WoRdS in a box because computers can't read that wierd stuff and thus can't sign in and buy up all the tickets to a concert and such! But then again what would I have to do if it wasn't for these spammers?
