Review and suspend accounts which are not yet activated

We’ve recently added the ability to review accounts which are not yet activated, and bulk suspend suspicious accounts, for example when there are a wave of suspicious accounts being registered.

  • Adds an activation filter (All / Activated / Not activated) to the Admin > Users > New tab so unverified accounts can be isolated in the UI.
  • Adds a bulk suspend action next to the existing bulk delete, plus a “Select all” / “Clear all” control so a whole page of accounts can be actioned at once.
  • Shows the suspend reason on the Suspended tab, mirroring the silenced tab.

When users haven’t verified their emails yet, they still can’t post spam, but this helps site admins have a way to review the accounts and decide whether to suspend/delete them or block the email domains.

Previously, Data Explorer could be used to find these users, but it still leaves admins doing the actual review and cleanup separately in the UI. For larger spam waves, this new feature makes the process more straightforward.
