I've recently received email notification of a number of registration attempts -- all the user names have a name plus four digit number -- which I'm assuming are nothing more than spammers or malicious people attempting to login.
However, when I look at the userlist, none of these usernames appear. Where did they go? Do they expire and automatically get removed if you don't elevate them to some user group?
I'm using v1.6.10
