Spambots
Vigo:
I know a few forums that will not allow new members to post until they post something in an "introduce yourself" thread. I assume this is a spambot breaking measure.
lilshawn:
maybe for the first 30 posts you have to answer arcade related questions :lol
BAMBOO:
Dirk_Da_Daring is my alt. Why an alt? Cause I lost my original account from 2006 and want to make sure it wont happen again.
Don't boot Dirk_Da_Daring.

kill any new account that is made and doesn't have X number of posts by Y number of days.

It isn't as easy as that. I would dump the user database into excel and run a query, and manually clean it from there. There must be a probation time for new posts, but it all depends on the admin resources. After all these years I'm sure there are thousands of dormant accounts.
