Yes, spam-o-matic is moderating nearly all of their threads but we can't find how to easily delete over 6000 spammers that have registered in the last 2 days.

This is what happened to me and I was so confused as I'd turn off registations yet they were still registering, but they wern't actually registering at that point, they were simply activating accounts that they registered in the past. Take a look at the signup date of some of the new accounts as look at the registration date.

Can't prune/move more than 1000 users at a time in the admincp. The "users awaiting email confirmation" usergroup has more than 6000 new users from the past 2 days. No way to get that log under 1000 and no way to manually tick 1000 checkboxes without modifying code with javascript.
