Lately I am getting a lot of registrations from users that are obviously just bots. It’s annoying to have to go through and delete them. They, of course, never appear to fulfill the registration process fully. What happens if I just leave them? Do they get deleted automatically after some time period?
AI-generated summary
The discussion addresses how to handle registrations from bots that fail to complete the activation process. Andro complains about the manual effort required to delete these accounts and asks if they are removed automatically. fhe confirms that unactivated users are automatically deleted after a grace period, controlled by the purge_unactivated_users_grace_period_days setting. This setting defaults to a non-zero value, meaning inactive accounts will eventually be purged without manual intervention.
Yes, they get automatically deleted if they don’t activate their account. The relevant setting is purge_unactivated_users_grace_period_days and if it’s not set to 0, they get deleted, eventually.
