Since not obvious from profile would’ve been place spammers. E.g. adding places having nothing at all to do with beer, e.g. law firms, roofers etc.
Deleted the places though.

They, like many before them, have that pattern in their name. Is that something generated in the signup process (perhaps through Facebook, which I don’t do)? I understand you want to make it easy to sign up but the current process is clearly facilitating spammers.

- you need to remove those damn random username: make people to properly choose a username
- people should at least need to enter their city, not just the country.
- EMAIL CONFIRMATION before account activation.

We definitely want to force email confirmation before account activation, however turns out there are a lot of valid accounts that have never verified. So we’re working on a plan for that at the moment.
