Thank you for your feedback. I agree that a fix that also allows for easy expiry/deletion of spammer accounts has much value. This couldn't be accomplished without changing the database, which was not opportune at this stage of the release cycle. I do not agree that the current fix is actually worse. Preventing to give spammers a free, unblockable platform on any phpbb2 install has a high priority for me, compared to the risk that not all illegitimate accounts can be deleted. Since admins are admins already, they can easily work around this shortcoming by viewing the database through phpmyadmin, for example. In any case, it can't be fixed before etch anymore because of the freeze. Thijs
