I am steadily seeing an increasing number of 6 digit users with wierd 
names like "B79eb7" registering on my site.  Who/what is creating these?

If I'm happy to edit the database can someone talk me through which 
tables reference the user table and how safe it is to delete these if 
they have never made any real edits to any content

(Actually does anyone have a script to remove all users who have never 
edited anything?)

The mediawiki faq has a little section on deleting users but it's not 
enough to understand the DB structure and figure out what needs to be 
changed

Any assistance gratefully appreciated
