I have checked the user list and there are many user with senseless "user name"
and their website shows often to some damn products or other >>shitty<< websites.

I will ban those user's tomorrow if i have accidentally banned some User that aren't a spambot please send me an private message or post here
. the aim of it that we have cleaner userlist with no spambots involved in it



and i have a >>Demand<<

because there is recently alot of spammer's there i would suggest
that Registration would need Moderator/Admin Approval to reduce Spambot's and that the reason why he wants in there needs to be reasoned too it doesn't need to be much
it should at least having a proof that it is a Human there and not spambots trying to spamming around
or maybe Captcha System

There is already a Captcha and users cannot post publicly before their first message has been approved by a moderator (who are the only ones able to see their posts until it's done).

I don't know if validating inscriptions would help that much, maybe someone has an other idea ?

It is often a real person behind this kind of spam. Adding an email validation makes the task more difficult and risky for the spammer (because you can trace it) but it can not 100% guarantee that it won't happen again.
