Why do you need to do this? Are there a number of spam posts and/or applications to join every day?
Other forums I'm on and been involved with for many years tend to run themselves, rarely any admin action.
Spam posts and other posts requiring some form of action are dealt with by moderators, and new applications to join get actioned by same. On one forum, we rarely hear from the admin from one year to the next.
As regards forums being on their way out and "an old persons thing". That's usually a comment by people who are not members of any themselves, never looked at or for forums recently or at all, and instead are happy with their own common interest world by other means. To each their own -
I'm a member of a number of radio/comms and general topics forums that have thousands of members both locally and overseas and get hundreds of posts per day. They show no sign of being on their way out.
