Yes, it is a bot.  One way in which you can prevent it by altering your sign up process.  Add a custom field or investigate some of the mods that allow you to tweak the sign-up.  This will stop most bots Smiley

I hate when that happens! Just try to do something like Authentication code so its not a bot, and meaby hire some Moderators to ban those people.
