Should I report these people that signup, make 10 posts, and never return?

From my time as administrator of another webmaster forum, these people are getting paid to do this and most of the time are just posting dribble for signature links.

You can report it, but will anything be done about it?

I don't think so, because it's not in the forum rules...

So, people would keep posting, then leave when they've completed their job, to receive their payment.

A simple update to limiting new members of a few features can fix this issue.

Example : Members with a post count of 25 posts and has been a member for 'x' amount of days, can have their signature displayed on the forums.

No you aren't. You've been registered since 2005. I'm talking about these people that register, make 10 posts and leave in one day and never return....and have a ton of garbage links in their signatures.

The people that don't contribute anything to the forum at all.

If they are posting actual SPAM, we delete them.
If they are advertising or link-dropping, we delete them.
If they don't do either of those things, or break other forum rules, if they never come back, WHO CARES???
