Go to the member lists and it's littered with dozens even hundreds of variations of the same user name with some different numbers. Nominate me as mod and I'll help clean it up.

If the account has had zero posts since it appeared then after a year it should be deleted.  I have no idea how difficult that is to do with the forum software.
