I think admin/site owner would have an IP address log of the person(s) attempting it, so it might be worth asking SDE1104.

Unfortunately I don't have access to any logs apart from ones for the admin accounts so I would have no idea who it is.

It could be another user on here, failing that it could be spambots as we have taken quite a hit on the number of spambots trying to to sign up in the last week or so.

The best tip I can offer is make sure your passwords are secure, don't leave hints of a password in any of your posts where possible and make sure you don't use the same password elsewhere such as on your e-mail or Facebook account. I generally use this as a general rule for any website - not just radionecks and have been ok so far...
