Autocomplete username is polluted #61

Open halcyon1234 opened 8 years ago

halcyon1234 commented 8 years ago

TDWTF has about 277.81 billion users (roughly), most of which are just spam accounts from CS.

Trying to @ autocomplete someone is all but useless. I can't remember nodebb dev's name, so I @jul figuring he'd be close to the top NOPE!!!!!!!!!!

Suggestion: 1) TDWTF: any account that is spammy, delete or deactivate 2) NodeBB: don't show deleted or deactivated users in the normal @ autocomplete (mods on mod screens may need that, but not users)

There are 134007 users on that list.

That's 5154 users per letter of the alphabet.

That's ~200 users for every two letter combination.

That's ~8 users for every 3 letter combination.

And that's not factoring in "most common tuples are more populated".

So like I said, effectively useless.

Delete any users who logged in before they joined, that should get rid of most of the CS spam accounts.
