Can these "members" have their memberships deleted? I vote yes.

Post above before I saw this one.

I deleted him. That means, everyone who was sent a PM from him will have that PM deleted. That means hundreds of people will get a notice for a PM that was deleted before they can see it. That means, I will get 20 - 50 PMs and emails from people asking me why they got a PM notice when they have no PM. I am really good about always answering every email from everyone, but I decided that there are too many inquiries on this subject for me to respond. I cannot let the spammers win by creating more work for me than they already do just for me to delete their posts and block their IP.

If you having a missing PM it was almost certainly a PM that was deleted when I deleted the account of a spammer.

Thank you.
