Remove user accounts created by bots
Recently a lot of user accounts seem to be created by bots. With #712 (closed) this should be stopped for the moment.
To remove these accounts, I suggest adding a daily task, which removes user accounts that match all of the following criteria:
- account is older than 30 days
- never logged in or time span between account creation and last login is less than 5 seconds
- email address is not verified
- no memberships, no subscriptions
- no content (versions)
- no comments or messages
- no images, no poll votes
The following fragment and the account deletion code can help with implementation:
for user in User.objects.filter(emailaddress__verified=False):
if not user.last_login or ((user.last_login - user.date_joined) < timedelta(seconds=5)):
// check memberships, content etc.
