We launched a SaaS recently and noticed a cluster of accounts created within minutes of each other that never confirmed email or returned after signup. We want to keep our user table healthy without accidentally deleting real users.
Curious what other founders do in practice, more specifically:
Do you auto-delete accounts after X days without email confirmation? If so, what timeframe worked for you?
Do you keep soft-deleted rows for analytics or GDPR reasons? Any retention windows you recommend?
If you have automated detection, what signals did you use (IP clusters; identical metadata; signup rate spikes)?
We analyzed 6.8 million AI citations across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity . The finding changed how we think about AI visibility.
The breakdown
First-party websites: 44% of citations
Business listings: 42%
Reviews and social content: 8%
Forums like Reddit: Just 2%
The most impactful sources are the ones you already control . This directly challenges the perception that Reddit and user-generated content dominate AI answers .
Hey guys! Only 1.5 hours left, and we re currently competing for the #1 rank. Would really appreciate a little support from your side to help us reach the top.
Thanks a lot for all the love and support! https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
