Blatantly SPAM names

Q

OK, I'm one of my paranoid cleaning fringes again. Checking http://forum.winworldpc.com:81/phpbb2/m ... &start=350 I find NUMEROUS rather blatant SPAM names with no posts. Anyone else think they could be deleted?

On the Swift forums, I deleted all names with 0 posts, so it's safe to delete.

if they are old accounts that have 0 posts, I'd say they're safe to delete.

New accounts with 0 posts could just be a new comer that hasn't got up the nerve to post yet.

Unless they have an obvious spam site in the profile, and a lot of spam bots have GMT -12 in the profile

Q

They're all gone now, but I meant the names like "cigarettesforall" or the ones with "websites" like "ksdufyhfbsm,uhj.com/cheap-flat-tvs.html"

I'm more reserved on possibly legitimate ones without any posts.

I'd just an SQL command to delete anything with a post count < 1, created before a certain date.

Q

I think we've dealt with most of the offenders.

You know, you can insert a CAPTCHA verification for user signup and guest posting. If that doesn't work out too well, you can insert a basic math equation or a "What type of water is the Atlantic Ocean"

Haha, that just might work.
