Seems a little fishy to me - but keep a close eye, and as long as things don't turn sour he would probably be a good addition

Look I would be careful if I was you, and request him to remove it. To outsiders on your forum it is given a false impression. Or even get him to add in his sig that he is a supporter of the site.

I would trace his IP and Trace his email and Username see what else this little gem has being doing.

Odds on he is doing it on another site. Check IP's just in case he is using a double account.

Myself I really would not allow it. And also check if he is not spamming your forum on other forums. It kinda gives you a bad rep.

All I am seeing here is a red flag mate.

Done an ip check, lives in Romania or around there, I can't find anything else about his IP, its dynamic though and hasn't been used on my forum anywhere before.

His username is very common for other things so Google hasn't worked for finding anything. A Google of his signup email reveals several other forum profiles but non look suspicious, just normal.

I have checked private message logs and logs about him, right now he just seems to be posting normally and has only sent one PM which was asking for another member's msn address.

Ok good news then. I will say some cultures have funny little ways, this could just be it I suppose, I would just wait and see then. I can think of anything else you can do.

The other forums are they Computer related?

I think my concern is through experience, I have had people pretending to me on forums, to troll and bring down my sites.

Maybe I am just paranoid lol.
