Lists and deletes all users with comon spam emails RU, .site, .world etc
Lists and deleted all users with zero logins over X weeks old.

Deletes all posts associated with such user, and all meta associated with that post
Deletes all buddypress forums, groups, and basically any other form of content produced by deleted users.

All with a nice UI, progress bar, doesnt over load the server.. and took longer to run than it did to develop ( major infestation )

Required only moderate massage of prompt based on the login count meta, the rest was a joke.

Site is down 49k users, to a much more reasonable 2k - I didnt develop the site, but they came to me in a pinch and was able to fix them up good while I took a shit basically

Good times
