Category talk:Users

Piotr: I see your intention with regards to having a Users category ... but I do wonder whether many users will bother to add themselves to it. Most don't even create a wiki user page.

The reason that we don't purge the username table of all the fake spam-bot generating users is because that also removes their ban. I.e. when someone spams I infinitely ban them from posting, so then the bot needs to create another username, etc. The use of spam-trapping regex variable listing the majority of spam-related words and forbidding any page saves with those words in it has also significantly cut down on the spam.
