If you want to avoid welcoming bots and spammers, please consider waiting 24 hours or so to welcome them. By that time I’ve had a chance to clean out suspect and confirmed spam accounts… so hopefully you will only welcome actual new members. π
Once we move to the new forum software this should be far less of a problem.
