There seems to be a few new members joining specifically to advertise homepages of adult orientated material, any members homepages leading to this sort of material will have their homepages deleted by admin from their profiles, any members not contributing will be deleted from the database!!

if i have reason to believe new members have joined specifically for this reason they will be deleted immediately!

i've just deleted about 300 new members that have joined for spamming reasons, their IP addresses have also been banned. I will be going through the members list again soon and deleting any inactive users.

Apologies if i delete any genuine members.

a few more users deleted this morning, i have now added a custom profile field to registration forms which should stop the spammers for now.

spammers are on form again, had to revert to activation by admin again for the time being, a lot of users will get deleted over the weekend.
