Default Mass removal of bogus accounts

I attempted to contact VBulletin, but since they are selling 5 now, they closed the 4 forum.

A feature that would be immensely beneficial would be the ability to mass prune bogus accounts based on various fields in the registration.

For instance, mass prune all accounts with the words (example) "Ugg Boots" in the home page field, or all accounts with the word "man" in the biography box.

With the onslaught of spam these days, the spammers are getting clever, floating IP addresses, cracking human verification, etc.. it is becoming more and more challenging each day keeping these wolves at bay.

Honestly, my wrist is starting to hurt from all of the mouse clicks needed to get these crappy accounts off my forums. in this example alone, it takes almost 800 mouse clicks to delete these users...



Imagine (I gave up) how much work I face trying to remove all of the 2642 bogus users with"man" as the biography. (nearly 8000 mouse clicks)

and these are the ones spam o matic miss!
