I keep close tabs on the ‘suspect’ user category and clean this up on a weekly basis. After doing some digging in [data explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) though, I found a LOT of spam accounts that apparently did not match the suspect criteria. What they all have in common is that they have super low to non-existing engagement, they did fill out a website URL, but did not enter anything in their profile description. It would be useful to have such accounts show up as suspect too - is there any setting that will do this?

I realise there’s no SEO penalties as these profiles are not linked. However, I do end up sending a fair amount of emails to these accounts and as I expect them to have very low opening/click rates they could end up hurting my email IP reputation. I prefer to run a tight ship and clean these up 🙂

Here’s an example of an account I just found:
