Deleted many spammer accounts

I deleted a bunch of accounts today based on a few criteria:
- invalid data in certain profile fields
- large number of spam warnings
- using a .ru email address and never posted
If any genuine accounts got deleted, please let me know. You (and the spammers...) can always re-register or post anonymously.

I cleared out a bunch more spam-looking accounts. I hope I didn't get anyone real.

I also do it from time to time (deleted a dozen last week).
I assume that if ever a genuine account gets deleted and is useful the owner would create another one, no big deal. But those I deleted were pretty much all obvious spammers.
