It's kinda hard to pick out who made an account and never came back and who is a spambot :o
This one has no messages so probably not
This one also has absolutely nothing
Empty account
Empty
Empty
Nearly identical ones? x and x
More empties... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Doubt any of these are spam bots (if they are, they've all been abandonded) but it was worth a shot.
EDIT:
Some more that seem a bit more suspicious (Not just blanks)
Tumblr link?

couldn't you have not-deleted that one so we can all see what we need to look for? Sometimes I come across profiles that look like they were just accounts that were made on impulse and the user simply decided not to post anything after all. Should I just flag these too?
This is BULLSHIT. >:[
Ohohohoho.
Time to break out the Excel spreadsheets and start cataloging every user on the site.
...Actually, @Diana don't you have a way to do this? A way to export all the user data (minus passwords and personal info of course) into a .csv or Excel spreadsheet or something? I could probably eradicate 80-90% of the bots this way.
