I am sorry if this sounds a but random, I am at a loose end and am not sure what to do so any advice would be appreciated.
I have just had a new user register on my site with the username 'trogen', as soon as I saw it I thought of 'trojan'. I checked their email address and it looks like a randomly generated hotmail one, very similar to this - gt773i2135@hotmail - (I just changed every letter and number for something else,and removed the .com).

The problem being, I could ban them, however if they are genuine I would have lost a member which means a lot as I am in VERY close competition with a similar genre site.

What should I do? I don't suppose there is a module or another php script somewhere which will track a users activity and tell me if they do something they should not? Maybe one i could put on the server which tracks everything the user from that IP address does on my site? But obviously the IP address will probably change if it is a hacker/cracker.

let me know your thoughts, what you would do, anyone!

Thanks in advance.

My advise would be to email them, if you get an answer then do not ban them, but if you don't I would deactive their account. Then after say a month if they haven't logged into your website, delete the account.

I would say, better to be safe than sorry.
