Banning bot accounts over the last day (wizanons.dev)

I turned on registration applications today since we had someone out there making tons of bot accounts on this instance.

Also since I don't have a ton of control over what these accounts are doing I'm just going to be banning and then deleting them between Jun 18 at 6pm EST to Jun 19 at 9pm EST.

New accounts that go through the registration should be good to go. Anyone who had an account before then should be good too. Let me know if you got caught up in it or are having issues. If you need to, make a new account.

Thanks everyone, I feel confident this is the best way to handle it so we don't have an artificially inflated number of 'users'

hoo interesting, didn't realize how the instance dynamic worked before... I somehow though which instance I signed up with was just a trivial choice (but glad to have chosen this one of the reasons mentioned then! (+ wizards are always cool)
