Bit of vacuum cleaning to get rid of the scum of internet. => 56 user profiles had spam-links only contents in their About Me page (mostly India, Pakistan, Indonesia and USA). => 13 profiles had spams message posted and/or later updated to spam. => Made a better search to find hidden forum spams => 6 more accounts deleted. Total = 75 accounts gone that we won't miss. Julien |
