Bot Abuse!!
But just for clarification, this script seems that it can be greatly abused.
For example, you can visit there website and "Add a Spammer".
All seems good at first until you think about the what ifs....
Such as, what if someone decides to place my IP, Username, Email, etc. there who doesn't like me.
It would in effect, stop me from joining your website if I wanted to and blacklist me across all other sites.
:o

Edit: Yes, I could just change my email from using your script to bypass it, but hey, that defeats the purpose! lol
