The past few days I’ve been getting a ton of spam “signups” (but strangely no spam from these accounts yet). They seem to all have unique IP addresses which is strange (correction - many have unique addresses, some have multiple). I can tell they are spam beacause of the names, and because my new user registrations have suddently gone up from 6 to 10 a day to suddenly 30+ each day for the past two days. Any ideas on how to control for this? Seems like a problem coming… https://www.evernote.com/l/AGrB3OamvvxByqxUcntwnXmygyP28KXd4R8B/image.png HERE is what the accounts look like below: https://www.evernote.com/l/AGqks4c1LCVFuaSOqKd5y2S-g-oPk9q8wW4B/image.png and https://www.evernote.com/l/AGrvuxm3A8VK1Iv1LwOvd1YuO-4mfWpDoN8B/image.png and https://www.evernote.com/l/AGqbePkPexlBvqEzj-60t89a6RKDCc8TZPEB/image.png

Which is very weird… because unless they post… who will find their public profile? There is the /users listing, but even so, I don’t think that page is indexed and they’d be way down the list. I bet ours are doing the same, all things considered.

Looks to be in the 30% to 50% range - perhaps they cycle back after a day… not sure. https://www.evernote.com/l/AGqNYd_snkhNALskL4Vn3fIfqlXsA9kPuMkB/image.png and https://www.evernote.com/l/AGojimJq7iZHlKeagssJouDsOpcQQ-2zPhsB/image.png and https://www.evernote.com/l/AGqGo_fEnyJAvaTtZ4SbodxW8TDkIb5WnaMB/image.png … you get the idea.

Be sure to check /admin/users/list/suspect that’s why we have this page. No read time, but filled out profile is always extremely suspicious with very, very few false positives.

I think any profile that has a URL in it should go into a “suspect” category and be put into a holder/trash directed account until moderator approved.. https://www.evernote.com/l/AGp4atc6VjVA6pY-fLrkmCJ4NMiHRWBC63cB/image.png

It already is though – that’s what the TL0 restrictions do. And that’s why the /list/suspect page exists. Everything you just typed, already exists.. simply check the lists. I am more interested in ways to pro-actively delete these accounts when we detect them, as mentioned upstream, with a few proposals.

You can, simply click or tap the avatar.

Group delete would be much nicer. otherwise its a 15 minute exercise I’ll just skip.

Even easier than that is a setting to auto-delete any new account after (n) days that doesn’t ever get more than 1 topic viewed. (Or, to be more strict, 0 topics viewed, 0 posts read.. that’d be fairly safe looking at the screenshot above) Then you would need to do literally nothing. Obviously this probably can’t be on by default because people who live and die by “look how many new users we have!” would lose numbers.

Lots of Spam New User Registrations?

OK - thats great. It would be nice if I could easily take action from this screen. Like in Gmail - where I can click at the top of the column to select and then delete them all.
