My 2 cents.
Can we have some kind of email verification when a new account is created before someone can access anything? Also, can we have say, captcha verification for say, first 5 or 10 posts a new user makes?
This could well be annoying but I think can help reducing spam attacks.

Email verification won't do much, if anything: you probably have access to as many different email addresses as I do - unlimited. All it does is make them "block book" new members so they can use them one after another - it won't slow them down much, if at all.
Captcha won't help either as far as I can see - it's human beings doing the posting, judging by the time between posts, so a captcha is only going to add a couple of seconds.

That would be fun. You do realize I could set VPN in a way to appear as if I am in Wales. I would change my user name to something related to sheep. Just to appear authentic.

Sorry, but as others have stated, this won't do anything but really annoy people.
I've added a rough filter for this weekend and am having a more complete solution setup next week.

Brilliant. Thanks. You are not using OGs solution, are you?

Hi Team,
There are two Krunal Rohit account showing on the Widget "Top Experts in 24 Hours".
One member does not exist and other goes to Krunal's account.
Please fix this, I guess this issues has been raised many times before.
Thanks,

Indeed - I was about to report the same, but with a little more detail:
Screenshot[^]
Rohit Twin A[^] - not loadable member
Rohit Twin B[^] - active member.

Awesome. These details gonna help the devs for sure. 
I marked one thing, you have 17352 (not clear though from the screenshot) number of notifications.

Yeah - I'm looking to see when it overflows...

Actually I am browsing on Safari in my iPad mini and it looked blur when I zoomed.

Use the red flag and click spam.
If enough members do it, it will be automatically nuked

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I guess the feature you describe requires some minimum reputation (which is silly)? I don't see a red flag anywhere. Is it my browser? Care to share a screenshot?

It's a minimum reputation thing, but it's not silly. If it wasn't there, then anyone could just create five or six sock puppets and ban anyone they disagreed with. And we do have members who would do that on an hourly basis...

No hard feelings if that is not an available feature for me yet.

You'll get there!
If you click on your username in the top right, and look at the "privileges" tab, you'll see it needs only silver in one of several categories - and it doesn't take too long to get a silver!
