[https://github.com/TannerFilip/discourse-spam-check](https://github.com/TannerFilip/discourse-spam-check) I’ll start off by saying, I’m not a great programmer. This is the first “real” tool I’ve written that’s (potentially) useful to people other than me. I’d love any feedback/criticism you have. I’ve written a Python script that scans through the list of suspect and/or silenced users and lets you delete them if necessary. I ran it over on Mozilla’s Discourse and deleted a few dozen accounts - this was only after I deleted close to a hundred by hand. There are a few things that seem pretty hacky, especially [lines 174 to 191](https://github.com/TannerFilip/discourse-spam-check/blob/master/main.py#L174). As I said, I’d appreciate any feedback you might have, and would be happy to answer any questions! --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/spam-account-scanner-script/128948)._
