Damn spammers are really active today.

SO FAR today, I've suspended 8 new spam accounts. When they finally get deleted, each one will generate over 21,000 jobs in the "pull" queue (160,000+ jobs), which will be a burden on the server to process. Not happy about this. Why do they open these accounts? It's not the accounts will get picked up by search engines or anyone will see them. What are they expecting?

Do other smaller instances fight these all day too?

I manually delete these accounts late at night when the server is less busy.

UPDATE: Registering here as new users. I have hcaptcha enabled so it isn't bots.
