I have finally gotten all the spammers that opened accounts on my site "BLOCKED" & I have removed all their user pages & any contributions that I can find. However I want to also purge them from my user listing & clear them from the user tables in the database. I could actually just delete them from the table, but I am not certain if that could/would damage my database & site. There are about 14,000 or so of them & I just want the site cleared of the garbage as I believe it will help speed it up a bit, & well, I'm a tiny bit of a perfectionist. Thanks john
