@hellekin - Careful there, I use GMail's <address>+tag@gmail.com to help sort my mail all the time.

@Brett, I do that too, but hotmail is a spam nest, and people who are aware of the + trick do not use that p.o.s. I would certainly not use that discrimination on GMail ;o)

Brett, any idea how to speed up the delete_entity part?

FYI, some patterns I found useful against profile spam:

• username, name, and user part of email do not match at all
• email comes from hotmail.com (not definitive, but a good hint)
• user has phone, website, and website is duplicated in description
• user has "not much to say about myself"
• "My name is XX" where XX != $user->name
• "I life in XX" where XX is a town (note the typo)

All this spam is from GSA Search Engine Ranker & Article Builder

email domain plugin+paid email service with cash rewards for users+site code plugin=little or no spam:-) 

how did you do to protect your site against spam?

HI. 

thefonz22

I am in the same booat with you. 

I wanna bulk delete mebers and  Brett's bulk delete plugin is no good one elgg1.8 version 

I recently added Bulk User Admin plugin, but i would have to tick over 4000 times to delete all users.

it would be helpful if someone made a plugin that would have the "select all" options.   

@Luis Teran: You can use firefox webmaster tools plugin to check all checkboxes on a site.
