There must have been some checks probably when the Home page was rendered, but you can check it out and see the result. I wish I could find a way to delete banned users too.
My banning routine goes like this: 1. I ban the email address or the whole domain if it's one of those temporary email domains used by spammers 2. I then delete the spam account to make sure we don't store unnecessary users in the DB I noticed that the amount of spam has been reduced, although we still have it. They seem to bother to open a Gmail account just to send a post that's not even visible. I guess they do it manually, since Gmail should have a more robust Captcha mechanism.
