We do this on a classic bike site I administrate. It's like the old saying "Profit is sanity, Turnover is vanity". All very well having thousands of registered users, but when only 100 or so post, it doesn't mean shit.

There are a lot of 'lurkers' mainly on the falco side of life, I tend to leave those be as theyre doing no harm, but we do get a steady flow of spam accounts that dont get approved, we tend to delete them daily, which isnt a problem, however now and again I get the chainsaw out and do a proper bit of pruning of the membership list.

What about the spammers?
I notice we have a few these days cluttering every thread up demanding some sort of reply, but rarely getting one

We have 1262 registered users
