User Pruning

Recommended Posts

Announcement:

 

The community has been heavily burdened with spammers (mostly Russian). We do not racially filter our users, but we have taken steps to ensure that no one fitting this description can join unless they personally contact us first. These steps include much stricter registration policy and pre-membership moderation. Meaning I must personally approve new registrations based on username and initial profile contents (age, country, interests, homepage).

 

Since we have begun this 'hand-picked' filtering method, I have received 40-45 new-registration email notifications and disapproved roughly 99% of them; disapproved, meaning discarded the notification due to potential spam flags.

 

Consequently, those newly registered (non-approved) guests still remain in the database as would a member. So we're going to begin pruning by the following query: DELETE users FROM * WHERE total_posts = '0'; .

 

The following members have been deleted:

• Therbo

• rybird

» Sidsadviddilt

• JohnGendron

» nrsubraz

» HealtSyday

• NicolasRei [account redeemed]

» allhadrs

» an212ReapsMepAccic

» indicates normal filter deletion

indicates members whom we have seen in-game or heard of

indicates malicious spammers

 

If you're reading this thinking, "Why am I on this list!?". You have either not been approved or have never posted. To be a member of this community, participation is required.

 

Speaking as Wabuf {

I swear if you post once saying "Hi", "That's neat" or anything meaningless like that thinking you'll disqualify yourself from deletion; think again! I will personally come after such users and hand-delete them and their IPs. Lazy ignorance is very frowned upon.

}

 

Sincerely,

The Chunk Republic Staff

Wow, I just manually registered the first person... VaultBoy124!

It's been at least 100 people who I have been at least 90% sure that they would spam that I have not allowed membership. VaultBoy is the first one! It has been about a week since we started manually approving users :o

I know him as well, it's just the fact that he never posted. We don't need users wasting space and not using the forums. All he had to do to avoid getting thrown on this list was post once; a welcome post, a question, comment or whatever he wants... NOT VERY HARD. By joining, he was 90% of the way to full membership already, lol.

did someone tell him that he needed to post on the forums to be on the server? Also, he was educated of the rules and was a great builder and survivalist (hardly a waste of space). I think we should use a more personal approach to this... that's all.

Haha, no I mean people like JohnGendron who get on the forum and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING... He's a good guy, nothing personal against him. Just don't join the forum and instantly abandon your name, or it will be pruned! Just keeps the database free of clutter.
