I guess that's the problem, so maybe it's not doable.

The logic is that "showing the memberlist" means it's on display - for humans and google-bots (and other search engine bots) for example.

Searching the memberlist means you can only find the member if you spefically search for them.

I had hoped there was a way to limit the members list display with an internal query that woud limit it to x-posts, so we could still display/promote a list of active forum members without having that as a target for people to signup only to appear on the members list (and have a link to their homepage.)

Now that I think of it, maybe a better mod would only show the link to someone's homepage on the memberlist if they had more than x-number of posts. That way - no member-list spam (it's quite interesting to have the member's homepage on the member's list though for legitimate active members, so I don't want to get rid of that feature altogether.)
