> [@Mine\_Zcash](#): > > Our community is experiencing several spam/bot account signups per day that have 0 posts read, 0 topics viewed, less than 1min read time. It would be good to have an auto-remove function for all accounts with certain selected parameters. If those accounts have no activity, they’re harmless. They are invisible to other users (including a public user list). And user profiles, regardless of their trust level, are disallowed in robots.txt and not visible in search engines. Plus, inactive accounts are periodically cleaned up, see **Clean up inactive users after days** setting (“Number of days before an inactive user (trust level 0 without any posts) is removed. To disable clean up set to 0.”). It’s triggered by the **CleanUpInactiveUsers** SideKiq job. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/spam-account-scanner-script/128948)._
