Just Purged 20,000 Users

[jar546]

Doing some housecleaning because of some back office issues, some with rejected email issues. This is who was purged in the list of 20,000 users.

1) If you had an email that ended in .ru
2) If you never confirmed your email
3) If you never posted and have not visited the site in the past 5 years

I could keep purging but 20,000 is enough for now.

Any questions?

A "bot" isn't a user? Oh my. (WTF is a bot anyways?)

Them's the things that send you emails explaining that you have just won $14,426 in the online lottery, Walmart is giving you a gift certificate, the IRS is demanding immediate payment of $896, or that your rich cousin you never knew just croaked and left you large sums of money that only require some detailed banking information.

Most of the members were registered and verified. About 6k were not verified.

Does verification prevent one user from having more than 1 account?

Huh. That's a lot of ... fluff. I can't help but think that will lead to space savings/improvements on the server/happiness and joy.

It was Stalin that purged the 20,000 *.ru users.
