Spammy Customer Deletion - Checkbox in admin/customers??

[shags38]

v1.5.5f

Just food for thought - for the developers.

Is it practicable to have check boxes next to the entries in the customer list in admin/customers such that one can check all of the spammy customers listed and delete them in one click (delete all)? .... ideally to save a lot of time taken doing it one by one.

Even with the various plugins made available to prevent spammers creating accounts in the first place they are still getting through (manual moreso than bots) and to my knowledge the deletion plugin only deletes those with http data - and if only visiting admin weekly for example can result in a quantity of accounts to be deleted.

cheers,
Mike

Many thanks Melanie for your response - I am currently using that plugin as well as Cindy's Access Blocker plugin. Both do a good job however they do not catch or prevent all types of spam account creation, hence my query above. For the ones that these do not catch or prevent I have been deleting via the database but it is a very time consuming process - having check boxes, like those in the actual database tables, would be ideal.

Ran across some issues before working on this..
* The rollover onclick event needs to go away.
* The Authorized button not flipping like I think it should, fixed it, Activity still flips/works.
* what to do with reviews.. for me, reviews are not attached to accounts anyway.
* Would the account delete still exist or would this be the norm..

I've used this idea on my div site and carried it over when upgrading to 1.5.6, image of my div customer page, all users are fake.. if you want it to work with I can PM you the page..

Dave this is good stuff!! - I hope that between you and Scot (swguy) you can develop this as a useful plugin (I do not have the required skills)
