Looking at the users list on haiku-os.org (http://haiku-os.org) and sorting
by the "never logged in accounts", anyone object to deleting unused spam
accounts? There is some minor inherent risk of erasing a legit account, but
if they haven't logged in in over a year+ I think the risk is minimal.

Hi

FWIW, when I used to help maintain spam and spam accounts on Drupal, my
criteria was 6 or more weeks of never logging since the creation of the
account. If any newly created accounts had any type of URL to an external
websites were deleted.

--mmadiaAh, ok. That makes me feel a bit better.

I'm rolling through some some cleanup now. We have had a *lot* of spam accounts
created in the last year.
Wow, we have a *LOT* of spam accounts created recently.

Anyone adginst me installing the "are you a human" plugin for user creations?

Should pose a pretty minimal obscrution for new users.
Scratch that, looks pretty outdated.

recaptcha?

My goal is something that *doesn't* require annoying "type in this message"
captchas on the new user registration page.
