you know, to avoid deleting members that have only posted in forum games/chatboard, you can just make chatboard/forum games posts count temporarily, then search through all that have zero, then delete.

Where is the Members List? Or do you have to have special permission to use it?

Here, MajoraKirby.

Anyways, that's not a bad idea, JQ... In the meantime, however, I've got another list of spam addresses.

bimgir.net
bonbon.net
fene4ek.net
goldwarez.org
hotpop.com
imstations.com
izmail.net
kibermail.com
kinozal.tv
lvovs.com
mainru.com
pmrmail.com
pozitifff.com
rupr.org
stylebrand.com
sweetville.net
toughguy.net
uk2.net
ukr.net
unlimail.net
xsecurity.org
zadonsk.net

Also, email addresses ending in ".by" are spam.
What, you expect me to say something witty?

Before I go through with JQ's plan, (Which should work by the way) are we in favor of deleting all accounts with a total of 0 posts?

I also say go for it (I of course, being the one who thought of it...)

Twilight Wolf

I'm prepared. I've been curious as to how many posts I really have...

Hmm...It seems that the:

Posts count towards total

option doesn't incorporate existing topics into our totals.

Twilight Wolf

Well, back to square one, then, I suppose. Dang... Oh, well, I'll just keep digging for spammers. The problem is, though, there are a gigantic amount of spammers with Gmail accounts... this would have fixed the problem....

Ah! Gamefreak, is it possible to delete members that have never been active? That would work!
