There seems to be no select all on the applicants page. Also is there a way to add a captcha or similar to the apply for registration so that i can avoid spammy applicants?

This plugin may help you to delete the applicants:

botstop plugin works really well; I haven't had a spambot since I started using it.

Thanks - cleanser did the trick. When I try botstop, I get a 'bonk' page instead of a apply for applicant page, so that is not working.
OK - i fixed that. Instead of the edit, I now allow anyone who can do both captchas to join. Botspot + captcha.
cool. good to hear my plugin worked for you.
I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.
