Dead accounts
by uzunov on Tue Aug 08, 2006 11:15 am
I have a suggestion to the forum admins, i think it would be nice to erase all account which are registered for more than 6 months and still don`t reach 15post limit , and haven`t post for months..and also there are a lot of accounts which haven`t ever post a word since they have joined Phoenix Forum
It`s no matter what you know, it`s matter what you can prove...

It really doesn't matter, since abandoned forum accounts don't bother anyone, but about a month ago I deleted about 1000 0 post users. When I have time I'll continue to prune the userlist.
The userlist on the server however is another matter. We're due for another pruning

Most of them are spambots.

3008 members listed. I'd say about 85% are spam/porn bots.
This usually happens if a site is well advertised (I found this one listed on the ductape freeshell list).
A suggestion you might want is to use a captcha to weed out automated account creations. There are several types and some are easily scripted such as the one I saw here. A hard captcha will always give random characters with embedded interference that only a human can read.
Just a thought.

You'll find that there have been alot more registered accounts which have been deleted just for that reason. However there are a few spam ones kept for record sake. Most registered users are real registered users who have attempted to apply for a shell.
