We think there's just around 60k non-beginner editors. Of course, a lot of beginners are legit
But still, I wouldn't be surprised if 2 million is spam :p

<05rustynova> Does need to check if they aren't just to use other MB services like LB though.

Yeah, sure - that's a trivial check luckily

All the risks etc have been discussed in detail a long time ago, and it’s been agreed that all the i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed. Just been waiting to run the script!

rustynova, monkey: thanks! Made the suggested changes :)
<aerozol[m]> "bitmap: afaik reo needed someone..." <- there's at least one unresolved comment on the PR (cc reosarevok) but other than that I'd be happy to finally run it
the PR description says it'd remove 700k editors BTW. not sure what percentage of spammers that covers though
bitmap: reosarevok: 700k spammers, let’s go!! Probably a few more since then too (assuming the script is something like ‘remove all minus any created in the last 365 days’). I don’t want to be a pain but if all goes well I will probably add a reminder to bug someone to run it annually 😇
