Well we can't help you with spammers joining your site but let's get back to the data and the members count in the stats. If you really only have a couple of hundred bona fide users then while it would be useful to get rid of the rest in the WP users tale it is not essential for Simple:Press. The important count is the sfmembers table row count.

So that - I believe was around the 200 mark. And what do the stats say now?

how can spammers join your site if you added a plugin for approving them first?  if you used Theme My Login, did you set up the configuration such that you have to approve registrations? 

It wont keep theme from signing up, but they wont get an account actually until you approve it...  If you disapprove it, the account is deleted...

certainly something you need to look into then... not sure how they would bypass moderation unless you have another plugin (or theme) that is allowing them to circumvent the wp plugin...

I dont know what to say then...  when I use it, all registrations have to be moderated before they can do anything...
