User Spam Remover

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 76% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   This plugin helped me eliminate over 10k spam registrations from a website recently, and it did its job very well regardless of being 3 years without updates.

   I had a bunch of spam users on my forum and this deleted them all. Granted it took some time as it could only do 1000 at a time but better than trying to figure it out another way. Sit in front of the TV and delete them 1000 at a time. I love this plugin.

   Would be amazing if it also removed all pending user registrations. We have 17000 spam registrations that never activated their accounts. Would love an easy way to remove them.

   I had 31000 subscribers on a old (WP 4.4) website where I accidentially had the option “anyone can register” turned on. This plugin did the job of deleting all those subscribers. I had to do it in batches as it “only” deletes 1000 subs at the time. Thanks a lot to the developer as it has saved me a lot of hassle!!

   Does the job of removing registered users that have not commented or made a post after a selected number of days and includes a log and a backup db file. Improvement could be made by allowing this job to be applied to a selection of User Role and a date range. Used on WordPress version 4.9.8 This topic was modified 7 years, 8 months ago by tgrblogger. Reason: added wordpress version

   Exactly what I needed. Would be nicer if it worked out of the box. The mysqli fix is easy for someone like me but would be a big hindrance to less geeky types.
