Spam Filtering Enhancements

Two suggested enhancements for the spam filters feature:

  1. Permit external domain lists (import via URL).
    • Would permit community-maintained lists.
    • Would permit central management for multiple installations.
  2. Add a checkbox (or similar) for ‘delete existing members’ to delete accounts registered using domains added to the spam filters.
    • This could also (optionally) exclude paid accounts.

Both of these would make managing the (increasing) flood of spam far easier.

If you need this right now, using the gear icon from the members page should let you filter by email address ‘contains’, and you can then delete the members who match your filter. Not as good as a bulk delete to match all domains at once, but if you’ve got a bunch of problem subs, you don’t have to deal with them one user at a time, at least!
