But then you don't need a valid email to join.

Kinda unnecessary. I mean, the spammers don't even have to make new accounts. They just hijack other accounts like they did to Christian007 today.

But I could make my email look valid but actually be fake. I could put you email. And register as Knuxles

A good idea, to prevent future spammers from joining, is to have user accounts activated via the ACP by an admin. It'll crack down the spam by quite a lot.
(admins will also be online during their activation)
just an idea
This would be the same thing as muting the chat and giving people voice, it's not effective. Also, one of the most annoying things about forums with admin activation is the wait time.

We haven't had any forum spam in a few weeks (save for the phishing but admin-activation wouldn't fix that), I'd say we're fine.
