Hey Wolf
What the hell is manual spam account registrations? Manual suggests an individual spamming? Is this true?
It means the account is created manually. The spamming would happen later automatically.
I checked the logs, it all looked like a manual registration. Bot registration is unlikely, but of course cannot be ruled out entirely. Either way, with the 2 new checks in place we should be spam-free for a little longer now.
