Description (last modified by ed) (diff)

As discussed - we need to do a sweep through the user tables and remove the spam accounts if possible. My first guess would be any names that aren't names. Or names with numbers in them. There will be other ways of isolating them.

Also to do this in such a way as to be able to do it quickly and easily in the future.

  1. Ran delete from node where uid not in ( select uid from users) and node.type= 'profile'; which has cleared the broken nodes appearing at https://www.transitionnetwork.org/tags/renewables

Just leaves spam account sweep... Will think and make some views.
