It's good you came back.

The spam filter picks up on average 200-300 spammers just overnight, bit less during the day and it's almost impossible to manually verify every new member.

As Transporter said, there is a LOT of spammers that sign up each and every day. The filters are pretty good at weeding them out, but unfortunately there are still some false positives.

*Usually* if you have a .com.au email address and/or sign up in Australia you should sail through without issues, but it's not always the case. A quick reply to the email and I'll unlock your account, normally this is within 24 hours, if I happen to be sitting here it will be very quick but if I'm off at a car show interstate sometimes it could take a couple of days.
