<div>Dear ALL<br>
</div>
I see almost everyday in my site 2 or 3 unwanted users are created.<br>
</div>
The user id is something like <b>sdfdxsxvxcvbcxmv</b> which is totally somebody just playing. I need to block such accounts or more preferably reuse such accounts.<br>
<br>
</div>
For me the concern is , once a user is created, that user id is gone for ever.<br>
</div>
Next if I create another user, it will take up the higher UID.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Assuming these things keeps happening, over few years of time we will have lot of unnecessary accounts in system, eating up resources for nothing.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Even if I delete these users, still the user ID will not be reused.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Within Drupal framework, is there any existing mechanism where, we can tell to re-use certain user ID when creating new users. If NOT existing, if somebody guides me, am ready to make one.<br>
<br>
</div>
Best Regards<br>
