Automatic Inactive Users Pruning
 

As requested by Watson here.

What this hack does:

• Runs a daily cronjob, removing all members according to the script's configuration
• Flag an user for deletion after x days (15 by default)
• Email an user that has been flagged (off by default)
• Has the ability to prune users that match ALL these conditions:
  • Has not visited in the last x days (30 by default)
    AND
  • Has not posted in the last x days (30 by default)
    AND
  • Has x or fewer posts (0 by default)
    AND
  • Has been flagged for deletion earlier than x days (15 by default)
• Send email to deleted users, notifying them of their terminated membership (off by default)
• Ability to move to a different usergroup instead of deleting them

To get started, simply read the attached .txt file :)

I released a similar hack a while back, but good work still. :cool:

Balls. Sorry, didnt see that one.... :(

very nice *installs* :)

I like this one, Thanks Revan

Thanks people :)
And the difference between the two hacks, after closer studies, is the fact that my hack can also email the users telling them that they have been deleted.
I value this feature because it would be annoying for an user to try to revisit if he remembers your forum at a later point, only to find his account terminated without explanation.

When I get home I will further improve this hack, by flagging the users for deletion, emailing them about the fate of their accounts, then after x amount of days (config), if the user still applies to the "flagged for deletion" groups, delete them (and optionally mail them about it).

superb mate, thanks a million for this. Will install it as soon as me site is changed over to me new server :):):)

I installed this, and executed with 100 days last activity & posts and 300 posts to be "immune".
Can you tell me why it says "skipped user" when I run it, for some users, even if they don't have 300 posts and they have over 100 days of inactivity? Why are they being skipped?

For instance, i created a user and set it with a last activity to April 2004 (so 1 year ago), I executed the operation and it was showing up between the "skipped users". There are no "flagged" users in the operation log, only skipped ones. I am running this with e-mail alert, and did not receive any mail at all. Any ideas?
