Ivek23:
I agree with Rick.ca proposal what makes around spam messages.
Somewhere in the month of May began an abnormal increase in the number of new registered users (sshot-1 picture attached) and already in the user profile indicates then, that their messages will almost certainly be written as "spam Communication" (sshot-2 picture and sshot-3 picture attached).

Any thoughts about this, nostra?

You have the permissions to delete accounts now. I will see how to filter out fake accounts...

Thanks. That will be more gratifying than just deleting the posts. Even more so if I can catch them before they post. ;)

It looks like you have removed the obvious ones. I still think most of those without any posts must be fake. Guests are free to read the forum—why would they register when they have no intention of posting? But I suppose it doesn't matter. I'll let you know if I'm having to delete accounts that were registered in the past.

nostra:
Yeah, removing all account without posts seemed too much for me. There is no point in creating an account and not posting anything, but I assume people could register to become a "better" part of the community or they could have planned to post some time later...
