Greetings!\u00a0 The great big spammy fake-user crisis is over.\u00a0 Bogus user count is now ZERO.<\/p>\n
I had over 18,000 bogus users, and toiled for days (spread out over weeks) to sift for legitimate new join requests.\u00a0 After going through roughly half of those, I decided that the honor of statistics had been satisfied, and installed a magnificent plugin called WP Bulk Delete<\/a>, which does exactly what it says. \u00a0 Highly recommend.\u00a0 WHOOSH, 7,679 remaining bogus users gone.<\/p>\n And so we are back to business as usual — anybody can join into an initial status which requires elevation.\u00a0 If I recognize you, I’ll just boost you — otherwise send to the mail address up in the “Join” link in the top menu.<\/p>\n See you, uh, around!<\/p>\n Greetings!\u00a0 The great big spammy fake-user crisis is over.\u00a0 Bogus user count is now ZERO.<\/p>\n I had over 18,000 bogus users, and toiled for days (spread out over weeks) to sift for legitimate new join requests.\u00a0 After going through roughly half of those, I decided that the honor of statistics had been satisfied, and installed a magnificent plugin called WP Bulk Delete<\/a>, which does exactly what it says. \u00a0 Highly recommend.\u00a0 WHOOSH, 7,679 remaining bogus users gone.<\/p>\n And so we are back to business as usual — anybody can join into an initial status which requires elevation.\u00a0 If I recognize you, I’ll just boost you — otherwise send to the mail address up in the “Join” link in the top menu.<\/p>\n See you, uh, around!<\/p>\n
