Thread:Project:Support desk/Still getting User spam even after disabling registration/reply (9)

I had a similar problem. I first prevented access to create new spam accounts with Extension:ConfirmAccount. Then I deleted all spam accounts (about 50,000 of them). And then I started cleaning up all the pages that were created by these spam accounts (about 35,000 pages).

It is true that only preventing spam accounts to be created, doesn't prevent existing spam accounts from adding new pages or altering existing pages. Therefore it is important to delete spam accounts as soon as possible.
