    We've had some similar "members" register here and they were indeed bots. This is probably the case for this situation.

    Very obviously a spambot, although it was a somewhat piece of luck said bot posted in the proper forum,

    Spam bots don't validate their email do they? Human spam bot?

    Spambots can validate emails. I hear they've beaten both Google and Microsoft's captchas for mail account sign up.

    He could be real... You could of deleted a real member. Imagine if chris deleted someones account thinking it was a spambot. It would be like borked.
