Automate deletion of spam user/contact after registration?
September 12, 2012, 01:22:20 am
I use Drupal standard user registration with a civi profile for user registrations.
Every day our site receives multiple human registrations from three typical sources (company names Valley City ND, Silver City ND, and Baker College.)

I haven't found a way to use Mollom to block them, and because they're human Capcha doesn't stop them.

Is there a way to automate a process to delete the user record and the Civi contacts (individual and organisation) after these users register?
There are times I love technology...and then there are times I *love* technology :-)

You could create a cron job to clean them up.
I'm not sure I understand why these humans have nothing better to do than create bogus drupal accounts.
Try asking your question on the new CiviCRM help site.
