All of a sudden the account is not "throw away" That's what I'd like to see indeed! Unfortunately there are lots of more-or-less legal ways out of such things, not to mention the illegal ways. They could easily use a temporary card, or even run it up to the limit before spamming, etc., etc. I too would like to think there are ways to encourage users to follow the AUP, but in the end hard technical limits are still the best. Mabye you have to be like the phone company and charge a $500 deposit on all new accounts until some history has been established that indicates you're at least trustworthy on the surface. -- Greg A.
