Like a fair whack of 'em are spam accounts (whether human / Mechanical Turk, or automated bots) that attempt to post spam links, but don't get to (automated blocked / manual removal).

Generally we ban spammers and remove any posts that they've attempted to put on the forum, but we don't actually delete the accounts.meinster wrote:Like a fair whack of 'em are spam accounts (whether human / Mechanical Turk, or automated bots) that attempt to post spam links, but don't get to (automated blocked / manual removal).
These would probably account for the majority of such accounts.

I still have a pm in my outbox to a guy who was on flogging tickets 2years ago. Obviously hasn't been on since.
