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Scratch that, looks pretty outdated.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.
Ok. I went ahead and configured Google's recaptcha for the user registration
page and password recovery page. We were using Mollom, however its captcha
obviously hasn't been working well.
I'm looking into some safe cleanup of spammy users now.
