My negative trust rating is reflective of a personal vendetta by someone on default trust.

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Little proposition... perhaps could could get a general sense of where the traffic is coming from (through the proxies).. and perhaps ban said countries of origin from being able to register.
That seems a little extreme. I have a message board of my own that got hit by spam bots, and to solve it, we ended up having discovered the source countries from where the spam was coming from, so we banned those countries, and voila, no more spam. lol. Yeah, it was at the expense of potentially banning some potentially new legit users from those 'banned' countries... but the board was a lot better off without the spam. The people who registered from those "banned" countries had to be manually approved by a moderator or administrator, so we got all the 'legit' users. tl;dr: Ban countries that spam from registering, by sending them to a "moderating" queue, and manually approve users that mods think are legit. This quickly weeds/purges out the fake accounts. 2 spamers 1 from U.S. 1 from EU Ban EU and US you lost 90% of your users  |

Banning countries probably isn't going to stop spam as I'm sure they'll be smart enough to use a proxy or get around it someway. |

Generally, you can tell if they are bots by checking 2 or more posts. One post is usually not enough to know for sure. |

User Omikifuse has copied several including one of my posts, but he might be doing it manually. Two of them have also copied the exact same posts as previous bots (or people who were copying and pasting). |

An additional spot-check showed no problems. |

What's the point of bots creating a lot of these accounts? What do the owners get out of it?

Many different reasons. Some have sig deals, some just build up postcounts. |

I routinely ignore posters with paid advertising in their sigs. You should too.
