Dead Accounts

Postby trexdino » Fri May 02, 2008 3:13 am

I noticed at the bottom of main forums index page, there is a number of registered users and amount of articiles. Well, if the forums all of a sudden went communist, then everybody would have about 19 articles each. Pretty low, that tells you how many people make accounts and never post anything. What is with that? They aren't even bots.
When you hope for something, you often believe in something. When you believe in something, you often have pride in it. Being proud often leads to a hating of some group.
As you can see, the Jedi are hypocrites.

Some people create accounts just for when they have a serious bug issue to report. Some some(most) users only have two or three posts.
Stupidity is relative.

No, there are some accounts where the name seems to be just a bunch of random letters, and they have zero posts, and they have been members for a while.

Well.. I dunno. They're probably just there because someone wanted to clutter the list. But I really have no idea about those.

These are spam bots, a machines which do register, but are automatically banned when trying to post their very first message containing a link.

Some also were probably bots that did manage to get something posted, but staff deleted as soon as they saw it was spam, and they never posted again.

I wish I had the power to delete accounts with zero posts. We get like 20 spambots a day and it sucks. Everybody is like "just ignore them" but I hate to know that they exist.

Why? So you can steal my posts while I'm distracted and immobile? I'm on to your tricks now!
