They did all verify all the emails which is what's wild, with askimet and wordfence installed and the captcha on.  I set the forum to require manual approval from now on and was able to delete the users with the bulk delete plugin, although I had to go a few thousand at a time as more crashed the plugin so it took a while. But problem solved for now anyway, thanks so much for the init! 🙂

@tonyi Well if what you say is correct, this can't happen. I mean something is not working correctly or is miss-configured.
