Is it possible to delete all users with unconfirmed emails?

Nonnisi

My site was recently hit by a long stream of spam accounts, not sure how they got past the capcha but it would be handy to wipe all accounts that do not have confirmed emails.

I think i read something similar recently, have you searched for mass deletion on the forum.

I think there are at least 5 discussions on the current discussion list page that relate to something similar, have you glanced at any of them?

Yes I could swear just the other day someone asked the same thing !!! there must be something written somewhere about this , maybe if I search using the words:

You are absolutely right. Although it has been asked before and I think that topic is still on the 'first' topic page... And to answer your question... check out peregrine's addons. He made some great anti-spam plugins. Also the 'cleanser' plugin which will most likely help you a lot.

Last but not least a neat little 'logger' plugin which will block spammers and log them if they are not in the block list (as far as I've understood it)

I just released a plugin that could help you called Bulk Edit.

You can use the user dashboard page to search for your role, click the action column and select remove users took the drop down.

While both of these addons are already mentioned, the Cleanser app worked well for me however I think @hgtonight's Bulk Edit may be the solution. I'm installing it shortly.

I didn't mean to knock the Cleaner plugin. I quite like it as well.
