I don't know what's up with this but, this is the second post we have gotten like this from a second person (?) and is the same exact as the last one.

If this is an actual person, you obviously did not have a problem activating your account, because you are here.

If this is not an actual person, I think this may be a new way to try to work around our registration, spam filters? i.e. in the hopes someone will just go ahead and approve manually? I have no idea but, the wording is 100% exact to the last one from a different member, so a red-flag goes up in my head  ;)

That username comes up as a spammer on two different sites.

I had figured as much.
Some of the tricks they use are so lame.
But then you get the really good ones, that you never even see coming and they just hijack everything inserting their own index.php files etc.

These irritating spammers... >:(

Manually approving new member registration could hamper the experience of a genuine member who could face delays due to the process.
