I would like the "Latest member" field of Forum Statistics to be updated immediately after using the spam cleaner. Out of the box, you have to wait for a cron job to run before that field is updated.
The reason for updating the field immediately is to allow the admin to target the next spammer immediately after running the spam cleaner. The "Latest member" field is immensely helpful in that regard. Many times spambots will register en masse but wait a few days (or weeks) before posting anything, so it becomes hard to catch them if you're just looking for threads or messages. But this way, you can just shoot them all at once, a whole batch at a time.
