You're asking for something you can't do right now.

Thanks @Adriano Faria however @Lindy advised above that the deletion script should still run even if the function is turned off so I have no idea what is going on with it

Thanks @Lindy on closer look I see the spam posts are in their own table so I presume one of my concerns is not valid in that this will prevent large holes in the IDs of the "good" posts table...I had thoughts that after a while my post ID would be up in the millions which would effect performance with extra storage etc i.e. post ID 12345 vs 123456789 (5 characters vs 9 characters). I have also found the Gallery is also saturated with spam posts.
Thanks for your explanation, I have turned it off on all my sites now

I am sorry you are frustrated, but your site does not in fact have "20,000 spam" posts. Your database may contain 20,000 additional temporary records, but your initial implication was your community was being overrun by spam suggesting the feature is allowing a moderation nightmare to occur and that, respectfully, is the very definition of hyperbolic. 
The feature is intended to promote engagement and reduce the initial barrier of such. I can understand if you are on shared hosting or a micro VPS with minimal resources how a bout of increased traffic and PBR submissions may present different challenges, but 20,000 - even 100,000 temporary records that will be removed if not authenticated should absolutely not pose an issue under normal circumstances. If 20,000 rows in the database is causing your site to noticeably choke, backups to be impacted and a concerning amount of storage to be consumed, I really believe there are deeper issues at play than PBR. 
We determined the maintenance period to be a reasonable amount of time between content submission and final authentication before determining the account is spam. You are welcome to suggest modifications to this in the feedback area. 
To answer your question, yes, you can shut the feature off and the cleanup of accounts and content will still occur. 
If you have any suggestions for improving the feature, you are again very welcome to post them in the feedback area. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what we can offer for your concerns at hand as again, the feature is intended to allow a path for guests to... post before registering. The posts are completely behind the scenes until they complete the registration, which requires validation and if that is not completed, the posts are removed. 

I don’t think so as it is disabled. You better confirm with IPS. 

Not sure if this happens to everyone or not but when I click the checkbox to delete an entry or move etc when in thread list view it shows the normal IPS menu at the bottom of the screen to delete, move etc but after a couple of seconds the screen goes to the full entry:

Try this:
In the pages template Supergrid Recorddisplay -> record you will find an instance of "ipsGrid_span3" about line 16 change this to ipsGrid_span2
Next about line 30 you will find "ipsGrid_span9" change this to ipsGrid_span10
See if that solves your issue enough

There is another way but it is a lot more involved and requires playing around with %'s and css but personally I think this solution not only is the easiest but also maintains the uniqueness of the intent

Thanks Martin, both are working properly now

1: Only FontAwesome 4.7 is supported by the Invision Community Suite. Docs are here: https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icons/
fa-plane-arrival is sadly not available in that version.
2: That is imported from a task that runs once a day. You can either locate the list of tasks, then run the one that belongs to "Member Map" manually, or wait till tomorrow 🙂 

I am not sure if you aware of: on mobile the categories are shown BELOW the clubs list. It should be above as nobody would scroll down in the hope to find category selector 

Found a bug in v1.2
The user has an image in his profile header however if they have their own store the header image is not shown. The image is there by right clicking the header and show image but it isn't shown:

Personally I can't see much in how it could be improved, I think it's bloody brilliant the way it is

What's New in Version 2.3.1:
New Features:
New setting to limit the number of lines to show in index category description Edit tutorial page will now use same template of when you're creating a tutorial Compatible with IPS 4.3 ONLY!

I have just purchased this great addon but wondering how I can make the category description shorter on the index page and deisplay the full category description on the category page.
The reason for this is that on the index page it looks silly and not very user friendly on say a 1024 x 768 screen when you have a reasonable text length of a description. I like the look of it on the category page itself though. See screen shots to see what I mean. Is there any way I could make a template edit to fix this?
