It might be impossible on CGN - I've never tried there - but it works here. It could have something to do with the way the forum software was set up.

Actual you are already be forced to be logged in, if you want to use all the needed features of this forum. For instance if I want to see an attached image here I have to click on it and are forced to log in readless of the fact if I am logged in or not. This is also true if I want to see someones profile, or want to use the search option or want to download an attached file, that conatins some necassary stuff for some files in the Apolyton directory, so you have to register if you just want to download an attachment. Regardless of the fact wheather you want to post wheather you don't want to post.

but since he allowed us to continue discussion (unless i'm misinterperting this thread being open), I would like to say that people who haven't posted even once (and I mean people who have 0 posts, and not a 0 post count) and registered before 2002, and haven't logged in since, have probably moved on with their life, or created a new user.

True, but most "guests" probably aren't using these features. I surfed Poly for at least six months before registering.

I wonder how many people registered just to download one or two files? Probably a lot, so I wonder if forcing people to register is the best idea...

perhaps a culling of the ranks might be necessary.

is it possible to do a two-stager pogrom?

first, check to see who hasn't posted in, say, a year or so.
then, check to see if they have less than, say, fifty posts.

if they fulfill both qualifications, delete the accounts?

If the problem is just registering your name that has already been taken by someone else who hasn't posted, can't you just contact MarkG, Ming, rah, or DanQ and ask to take the name from the other person?

I know of one instance where this has happened...but I can't recall the person.

In theori it might work, but how many newbies knows exactly who to contact, before they register?

It makes the threads in this forum load much faster when our spam has been removed. All I need to do is add Skanky, Jamski and BC onto the list to complete the set.

Interesting pick of names there FP, I did a quick tally of the number of posts by people in the last 15 threads to be posted in and I've cut off anyone who hasn't got at least 10 posts.

Spike and alva seem to be runaway champs at the spamming.

Code:
alva		55
DrSpike		41
Ming		32
Skanky Burns	31	
Harry Seldon	30	
panag		25
rah		24
mrmitchell	21	
Frustrated Poet	20	
alex		19
nikolai		17
obiwan18	15	
MarkG		14
Big Crunch	12	
Tuberski	12	
Thirgaral	11	
H Tower		10

You might not spam very much, mate, but it's high quality spam and tends to stick out.

Also, you know when you've spent too much time on Apolyton when .... you do

Yeah, I'm sure you could come up with a way to do it automatically, but then it would take time to create such a hack to the system... And there would still be people who got nailed by accident because face it, no program is perfect.
Auto-email can be done. I don't think it takes a hack.

Just ask tordenskiold of historic-battles.com for how to do it
