VB guys - why not add more options to the user prune? a "Join date before" option would solve all these problems.

Edit - I got most of them by deleting less than 5 post accounts from the last month BUT there is still a ton that have 20-30 posts so I gotta hunt for those...

well if spammers posted the content would you think that content is not spam i don't get what your trying to do just stop unwanted sign ups? or get rid of the link spam and signature spam that they create when they get signed up?
