The upgraded forums seem to be doing a good job at keeping bots away!

I believe that there are email blacklists out there that have extensive lists of email domains that are known for being home to spammers/bots. Just upload that to the delete members queue and...

But like I said before, there are a gigantic number of spammers with Gmail accounts. If Gamefreak can delete members that have never been active, that'd solve everything.

[Keaton]

He can't, ZV.

[darkphantomime]

So? Delete the inactive gmail ones too.

[Twilight Wolf]

Precisely, JQ. What I'm saying is, if possible, delete all of the members that have never been active. That means all of them. The active ones will never be touched.

[Gamefreak]

I'll try running that through my search.

[Twilight Wolf]

Well, let's keep our fingers crossed. This could be the solution we need.

[darkphantomime]

One thing though, with the time set up we have here, 'time active', it's only since we got the forum update. And a lot of members with posts don"t have any  time accrued because they haven't been  back.

[Gamefreak]

Well, I can't run "Never" through the Last Post criteria and get any results.

My only other option I can run through, is to bring up a list of all members.  It brings up 30 at a time and I can uncheck all people who have posted at least once on these forums.

I'll have 135 pages of 30 people each to do, but this is the only thing I can think of.

No, we're fine in that aspect. You all remember B-boy? He hasn't been around since January, and his profile says so.

EDIT: Dang, that's gonna take a while, Gamefreak...

Why is it that tons of the people with gibberish names have "Im a Llama" as their comment under their avatar?

[Gamefreak]

That's the default with these forums.

I believe Jack has a topic near the bottom of announcements explaining it.

Well, might as well do that. 135 pages can go by rather fast...

Or you could simply delete all  members with zero  posts and leave it at that.

[Twilight Wolf]

But we'd have the problem of deleting members who have only posted in the Chatboard and Forum games... What if they came back? That wouldn't be good. When they try to sign in, it'd say something like "This account has been deleted." They might not come back again.

[Gamefreak]

Right, I think I've got the criteria.

In the listing for all members, it shows a "Last Active" column.  And if the person has never done anything, it'll show up as "Never"
