Its not my place to explain any benefits, people use it for different reasons. If you have a use for this then thats great, otherwise you simply dont install it. :D

Disabled for now.. I personally don't wish to use the Lurker, but the inactivity group only. When I change the usergroup of the lurkers to 0 in hope to disable it. The users are being moved to (COPPA) Users Awaiting Moderation. While through the usergroup, no users are in (COPPA) Users Awaiting Moderation.. When I edit the user, it strangely seem to be in (COPPA) Users Awaiting Moderation.

Is there anyway I can disable the lurkers check?

Well I suppose you could read the options ;)



BTW, those users are not in COPPA, they will have a usergroup of zero - its just that vbulletin has no u/g of zero, so it shows the first one in the list.

I really fail at reading, heh, Thanks.

What is the advantage of putting users in a new usergroup? :s

See post #31 :)

Paul, there are tons of people now within the unknown usergroup that does not exist (usergroup 0 that I used to fill in as lurkers usergroup). How do I fix this for them to be moved to the registered usergroup again?

Nice mod, used it on vb 3.x as well.

I do wonder though, if I have the 3.x version of this mod installed, do I need to upgrade to this version (I suppose so) and if I do, will the usergroups all correct themselves when I upgrade the script (assuming I set up a special usergroup for the inactive people) or do I need to change those manually?

Thanks.

Have installed this on test forums and it works perfectly.

Question/Suggestion for future upgrade of mod though - would it be possible to have the option added whereby you could decide for each group as to whether the restore feature is enabled? For the likes of Inactive users it'd be handy to be able to set the restore feature to be enabled, but for Lurkers leave it so they have to contact admin to have their accounts restored.

Seems reasonable, I'll consider that for a future upgrade.
