I've been getting an influx of random bot accounts registering on my forum lately. There's about 30 accounts registering a day. I was wondering if it was possible to automatically delete an account with 0 posts, that's like, 48 hours old or something.

You'd have to use an sql query, not usually recommended unless you know exactly what you're doing.  You shouldn't have to deal with 30 bot registrations per day, I don't get any.

Didn't know that, and I know this has been asked before. ???
