User:Paddy3118/Bye spam

Not a task!

Downloads RC Recent changes; finds all the new User/User talk pages; displays them one at a time in a browser then gives you the option of deleting them.

If you choose to delete then creates/appends to an iMacro script that when run deletes their User page and blocks their account.

Python

Extensive testing starts now, and it is really a first draft with embedded stuff that will only work for me.
