Thanks. We will have to keep an eye out to make sure we don't get a
huge number of spamers setting up accounts on the site again. Is there
a way that we can set siteadmin moderation before creating new
accounts?
I also wonder if we can create a test that checks and if an account is
over a year old, has no files created and no more logins, delete the
account? There are over 300 Members on the system, now.
