Mass delete spam users?
Are there any plugins to mass delete users?
At least on the busy forum I run, I've been getting people who register, add a spam link to their account, and go away.
It would be great to auto delete all accounts with 0 comments, 0 discussions, and have a site link set. Just to keep the user list cleaner if nothing else. If it auto deleted all their content, would clean up the Activity page as well.
Any plugin to do this, or a pointer where to start building such a plugin.

This is a good idea for a community developed plugin. Does @x00 have time to lead?

if UserID and ActivityID were properly joined into one SQL statement (and the userid's were captured. then you could delete all respective userid and all activityid from user and activity.
SELECT

FROMGDN_User
whereCountDiscussions
< '1' andCountComments

like '%www.%'The biggest problem I see is a forum owner, running it and then realizing they didn't want to.
offhand I don't know a proper join statement.
I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.
I have been facing this problem too. Actually Vanilla already has such a function in the Approve/Decline applicants page. The same functionality could be extended in the users page also. Further, both the pages should also provide option for "bulk select"... I am actually surprised that this is not a base feature, especially in a script for forums, which are prone to spam bot nuisance.
This feature should not be a plugin, but included in the core system.
Good, you know what to do then: A feature request on the GitHub system. Let's see if they can put it in the 2.1 version :-)
