Signing Up Under a Proxy

If you want me to authorize you, at least respond to my email. I'll let it hang for a week then I'll delete the request and block the IP.

In the past couple days I've got some sign-ups that if I didn't know better would get through. Their username is not a construct, they're not blacklisted, the email addresses are not throw-aways, and the IPs are not in known bot territory; in fact, one is from the U.S., so I'm sending an email to the addresses provided and asking them to respond like a human would. So far, nothing. These are very, very well-camouflaged bots.

your loving Uncle Sam wants to make sure you’re not spreading “un-freedom”.
SJWs are a natural consequence of corporatism.
