We have 2 new ppl, plus me and Drebs, I think that would be nice to have
a meeting about this, coz the other 3 ppl are not on this lists.

We agreed with maxigas propose.

This is one of the things that we can do, if we decide to change the way
that the accounts can be creat.

We must do a mutirao (sorry for not know the word on english) to clean
up the spam accounts, I think that we can do as we do with the lists,
and the admin of imc site here on brazil, after x months without acess
your account will be deleted, you can always ask for a new account, or
to restore your old account (I don´t know if this is possible)
