jeez, and vbulletin has several methods of preventing this sort of thing too!

You can require a minimum post thing, or why not just only display members who have proven their liscense status O.O if its all just a usergroup~ should be a piece of cake?

And yes, they are so obviously spam. At the very least prune off members who never posted, werent verified, and havent logged in since registering, a long time ago (time to be determined by admins). WHY let them sit there? There is no point harboring hope that they will return and actually be members. Unless it is just a way to inflate usercount or something >.> Its impossible to find normal users unless you know their name immediately. Sure vborg has tons of regular users, but a great alarming number of such fakes. My favorite idea is simply only displaying users who have proven liscense status.
