Description

See the following messages:

  • message#58123
  • message#56563
  • message#58122

I could delete the message(s) myself, but I think that (some of) these accounts need to be locked/deleted also.

Deleted the accounts.

Every day, 100 - 200 accounts are created and I delete 10 - 20 accounts that posted spam or test issue. Probably a considerable number of new accounts are created by spammers.

Is there anything we can do on the server side to lower the amount of human efforts?

No not really. This was just to get an admin to (consider to) delete the account(s).

This relates explicitly to #29450. But to give a head start, I'd say it is best to start with:
  • create some explicit procedures on how to handle the different cases in a standardized manner
  • document these procedures
  • incorporate these procedures into all the different processes
  • delegate the execution of the tasks coming from these procedures among project members/contributors where necessary along with the required permissions

But that all ties into project management...
