I have had some join and also don’t do anything. I do have them in moderation “mode” so just in case they post I can control it.

Spam bots are crawling my new forum too. Yesterday I removed the image verification code on register, and got a bot registered immediatelly that started promoting porn sites, so I put it back again.

Yes but have they entered any websites urls into their profiles. Some did that on my bookshop forum as they was advertising their websites through the member lists.
