Ban Inactive Users
 

This vBulletin product / cronjob bans inactive users at regular intervals:

• users who have registered but haven't confirmed their email within the past 21 days and never have posted (applies to user group 3 only)
• users who have registered but haven't connected within the past 90 days and never have posted (applies to user group 2 only)

There are no user interfaces or settings, but you may change the cronjob interval from the AdminCP - Scheduled Tasks.
A short installation guide is included.

Thanks :D

I'm not sure if this would be useful, because the user can always come back.

If I registered on a forum and wasn't active and came back one day to see my account was banned, I wouldn't bother creating another one.

Just my 2cents

Yeah I know :)

We have pretty rigid privacy laws though and manual pruning of inactive users can become a problem for sites with over 1000 registered users. Time consuming and repetitive work ;)

Why dont you just you just make them get deleted, rather than banned?

Why dont you use the add-on if it's useful for you, instead of questioning the author why he did it that way. He already answered the question!

I want to keep the numbers :)

A high number of users is always advantageous, and besides that, it avoids people to register again and again with the same nick names ;)

hmm, i need more user beside ban lolz

It woul dbe awesome if they could be moved into a new usergroup.

I took note for the next release ... however you con change the usergroup inside the file biu_cron.php in the queries:

SET usergroupid=8

where usergroupid=N defines the destination.
