    Default Approving new users update

    Getting spammed like crazy with new user registrations so I'm trying to make quicker decisions.

    One thing that is going to get a new user request rejected almost 100% of the time is if the new user's home page is set to be something like a blog entry about low-cost loans or some scam crap like that.

    Today's spambot biographies:

    I'm Ella and I live in Fail. I'm interested in Education Science, Meteorology and Chinese art. I like travelling and watching Sons of Anarchy.
    Hi, My name's Merle Barron. I haven't worked on a wiki project before, so this is my first! My profession is in nursing, but to be perfectly honest I'm just an internet nerd. While my boss does a decently good job keeping me off the internet at work, I'm positive I'll be able to contribute here.
    What's up? My name's Glenn Mckenzie, I'm pretty new to this project, but I aspire to be a useful contributor very soon. My "real job" is in accounting, but to be perfectly honest I'm an internet addict. While my boss does a decently good job of keeping me off the web at work, I'm sure I'll be able to pitch in. Since I'm still new here, I'd seriously appreciate feedback on whatever I bungle. I guess you can put things on this page and I'll see it? I'll get it once I've had a little time to mess around. So... that's it?
    I'm a 37 years old, married and working at the high school (Greek and Roman Culture). In my free time I learn Dutch. I've been there and look forward to go there sometime near future. I like to read, preferably on my kindle. I really love to watch Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory as well as documentaries about anything scientific. I like Games Club - Dungeons and Dragons, Monopoly, Etc..

    Wonder if the spammers are pulling these bios in from some place or generating them... er, looks like they are pulling them from a wiki deal.
