hmm...I should prepare a script to find out all accounts that are seemingly spam accounts.

Deleted. There are probably thousands of these. I wonder how dangerous it would be to delete all users with 0 posts that haven't logged in for a month. That'd be easier than checking every 0-post user for spam.

I guess you could do a SQL-statement that deletes all 0-post-users with a not-null signature which haven't logged in for a month or so.

If my calculations are correct:

Approximately 2,500 accounts have one or more posts.
Approximately 5,000 accounts have zero posts.

Actually most forum software (unsure about SMF) has such provisions built in, for exactly that reason.  Account pruning by filtered criteria.
