A lot of them seem to simply be empty accounts that the members never use. I don't know if they are bots or actual people, but there's a lot of new registrations. It's something commonly found on forum. There is forum where I moderate but most users just register and go cold. Most of the time the site owner bans them for being inactive.

It's so interesting how people will just sign up for stuff without any intent to actually do anything with said account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I need to conduct a study on that and find out from the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe what you can do here boblee, even only you can help VGR forum achieve more land mark of posts xD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come navigate through, get the information they need and bolt away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can come and go whenever they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem i've noticed is that each account has to be manually approved sure i get that is to prevent bots signing up. But it toke more then a week (almost 10 days) to get approved and only that happened when i sent a mail as to why my account isen't activated yet. Who knows if i never did contact the site if i would have been approved by now. You shoulden't have to go to that length to register on a forum i think. I'm not judging i get people have stuff to do, but approve accounts on a more regulair basis would kind off help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right and that might be a big challenge for most people who got registered but can't get their account approved. It shouldn't be that long, better still the mods are there to help keep the forum clean if any new member spam the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mods, we don't have the authority to approve, deny, or ban accounts. That's something only an administrator can do. We're here to help maintain the forum and do our best to keep things running as smoothly as we can. DC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very sure that the administrator is going to do something about it sooner or later when it comes to him that he needs to give more power to his mod.

Remove this funny meme, I never stopped laughing seeing this kind of thing here on VGR. The other time, Shagger posted one which made my day, I couldn't forget that hilarious picture.
