Hi Eric,
yes, sorry for all the duplicates... there was indeed a big overlap in the search. I ran my script again, this time without duplicates.
I have a list of 656 unique accounts that:
- have a link in their bio or as their homepage
- have their last visit date equal to their Registration date
Is this enough to decide whether an account is undesired? Well, I went through a lot of them and that seems to be the case. But there are a few edges cases, such as this one:
https://ludii.games/forums/member.php?ac...le&uid=118 . This seems to be a legitimate user, except they only spent 1min on the forum and used it to advertise their blog.
A lot of these accounts seem to just put different linkts in there, perhaps to boost their SEO ranking?
Like this one: https://ludii.games/forums/member.php?ac...le&uid=230
I don't know if it's appropriate to paste this list here as some of these accounts might be legitimate. We can perhaps first talk about it in person after the holidays.
Best,
Fabio
