Deleted all accounts that had 0 posts. Don't think it really affected anyone.

Spammers seem to be on a craze to register weird accounts like "BuyViagra2343432" to add useless accounts to forum databases. They don't even use the accounts, they just register them.

Oops the news bot account had 0 posts, forgot the news system posted under that account.

Yeah went to validate the news and got an error. But the posting under an account thing was for the old system, so I can just remove the code that handles that part. The submission form got abused more than anything, so now its a "secret" form that the bot uses.
