In the past we have basically removed people / accounts if needed and have done other things as Jaromil mentioned below to block it. So what I was referring to as keeping it small etc was more when things have got out of hand someone has dealt with it etc.

To be honest I am not phased by what approach people want to take, I am not too sure how much it matters might be annoying for new people etc? But also I'm not looking at server stats to see growth etc. we have not had a problem with spammers for awhile now I believe since server side changes where made etc?

Anyways Jaromil and Eden whatever you both feel is best, if I can add any free time helping out with any admin / server tasks to ease time burden for people let me know. Apart from that happy with whatever.

Oh also Jaromil that was a brilliant interview with Keiser ;)
