wouldn't one of those image things where you enter the letters you see in it stop most bots if not all of them?
Thats too complicated, Why should I have to be able to read to join a forum?
 
They don't even have to spend the time to make new images. They could just make a little box to check off, and the bots wouldn't know what to do... problem solved.

It would take a bit of work to delete all of them and does it really matter?

what does it affect?

it isn't like it is hits or something, it is a bunch of 1 post members that don't mean squat
I said pruning. Apparantally none of you know what that is.

As I said, I really don't care what you do, I'm just making friendly suggestions (which are greeted with hostility).

I quoted his post and said that it would be easier... but that doesn't mean we want to do it.
 
Why should we prune members with less than 5 posts when the majority of those members aren't bots? No, the majority of forums doesn't do this (well, TNZ did, but that's irrelevant), and I don't think we feel the need to do it either.

Besides, some DO come back occasionally, I've seen accounts that joined, made three posts, then came back three months later, why delete their accounts, nothing says "we don't want you" more than that.
 
I see no reason to do this. Every forum is going to have members with very few posts, and it's just extra work to remove them. Also, the small chance that one of these members comes back is enough for me to not prune the accounts.
 
Well if we were going to do this (which we aren't), all of the members with 1-0 posts would be deleted since bots post once.
