Forum registering but no posting

[temi]

I think after Bagi set up his forum etc, we should exchange info about this spammer to fight them effectively.

Some people register without posting just to be part of some private forums , the forums only registered member can acces. Some people don`t post because their understanding of english is okay , but they can`t write as well as they read. And some join just for the link Well at first I banned few of these users , now I started replacing their links in the profile with url of some of the sites I work on. Next , I think I will start banning again the members that do not post.

And with all this things with the spammers , I also got members who join but have no link in signature or profile , but still have no posts...

That's a great idea, the best thing to do is to replace the url. At least each person who joins but does not post counts as an extra member.
