What are we going to do about the members who are still in the Validating group?
If they haven't posted, it'd be easy to discount them from the total members tally.
What else?

| Delete them, in case anyone ever wants to use the username again. (I assume that's possible) |

More specifically, I suggest we delete validating members after a month of inactivity.
Also, it's possible to stop validating members from posting (currently, they can't start new topics, but can reply to old topics). |

| I've just set the validating to not be able to post until they validate. That should make it harder for spammers to begin poisoning the forums. |

| Thanks. I turned off their ability to PM. I for one am tired of receiving rude PMs |

Interesting. They must be contacting only the forum's first member.
So, I noticed talk of putting together a moderating team before the
above actions took place. Would such a team be needed anymore? |

| I just cleaned up several thousand members who haven't made any posts (putting them into either the Validating or New Members categories) and haven't been seen here since October 1. The vast majority of these were most likely spambots, although I imagine some no longer active lurkers got in there too. |
