We currently have 28,000 unapproved signups so unless we know what usernames we're looking for to approve, it's something of a nightmare.

here this will make it easier for me to weed out all the spammers.
We had the same problem on the AME Forums. The few legit registrations we got were completely drowned out by a tsunami of spammers. The only way I was finally able to manage it was to turn account registration off altogether. Unfortunately that means that I have to create new member accounts by hand, but for me that actually ends up being easier than trying to sort through thousands of spam registrations.
BTW, for anyone who has to deal with Forum Spam, there's a good website I can recommend:
StopForumSpam.com. Their database of known spammer email addresses is very useful. Whenever I have to check if someone's legit or not I just search for them there, and then delete them if I find any hits.
