I have a feeling a few people are joining my forum with fake email addresses just to lurk or copy stuff! Is there a away where i can check if an email address is legit or not?

ummm yah i made a video over this too.

if there are funny characteristics in the email or the email looks kinda weird then its a fake email and also if on a gmail email account if it has any sign such has !@#$%^&*() then it means its a fake account because gmail doesnt recognize !@#$%^&*() these icons

well there is one that joined and there email is nant1@live.cp.uk

if they login everyday then click the ip and that email can EXIST

yah but it could also happen that the spammer makes their own spam email accounts and uses them to register

true and my suggestion is another way too in both ways we both are right

My thoughts exactly

or send them a email and see if it goes through? if it dont go through then it's not a real email,
But even if it is a real email dont mean it's necessarily theirs either...lol

Yes watch out while sending a test email to a suspicious member that you're not sending an unsolicited email to a person he just took the email address from.
