How often do you clean out your member list? Get rid of those spam bots, inactive users etc.

Since I added the Zero Posters MOD to RCF, none of the non-posting members appear in our Memberlist or Member count.  I also added a couple of MODs that allow us to delete members from their Profile and another MOD that alerts us to new members.  So if we determine that the new registration is a spammer, then they get deleted immediately.  Spammers tend to leave some easy clues that alert us that they are not legitimate, so it is often very easy to quickly determine whether to delete them or not...

I've had loads of spammers register in the past week, after nearly a year of none!
