Possiamo disattivare le email agli utenti eliminati e smettere di contattare i nostri spammer?

[Richie (Richie Rich)]

Our Discourse is set to approve post count = 1

We use this to protect against spam as the first post from every new user requires moderator approval.

When a spam post is made and caught with this setting, we reject the post and delete the user with a single click:

This works great and protects our community members from ever seeing a single spam post

However, when we “Delete User”, Discourse unfortunately then emails that deleted user to tell them they were deleted.

We’d very much like to not be contacting our spammers

Can we turn this email notification off somehow?

[Richie (Richie Rich)]

The issue there being someone on a mission now knows they’ve been deleted so they sign up and try again

Here’s the email the deleted spammer gets sent:

I don’t think the pull request that added the feature included a setting to turn it off.

FEATURE: send email to deleted user

I currently delete the user from their admin profile page instead of from the review queue. That seems to prevent the email.

When you select “Delete and Block User”, shouldn’t that disable the email right away?

[Moin]

No, it doesn’t. It also emails the user that their account was deleted. There is no difference between deleting with blocking and deleting without blocking.

Interesting workaround, a few extra steps for our moderators though

I’m also not sure if they have permission to delete a user, I’d need to check that.

That’s disappointing, I really don’t want to be sending emails our spammers

@Richie

a few extra steps for our moderators though

I click on the avatar in the review queue, click on the name in the user card to open the profile, and use the delete button on the right.
The really annoying part is that you still have to reject the post in the review queue.
