Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Un-Activated User Management 3.1

this was a fantastic vb2 hack and was made with blood, sweat and tears by Amy, she deserves all the credit for doing a fantastic job and then giving me permission to release this. If you install this you should show your gratitude in her direction as without her it wouldn't have been possible.


if you got a big board you can't live without this, it stops the crap from piling up.

anything messes up, i can't take responsibility i'm afraid so back up before you try it.

Features:
1. Emails users after 3 days and reminds them to activate their accounts.

2. Emails users after 5 days and lets them know their account will be deleted if they do not activate.

3. Emails users after 8 days with a final warning.

4. Deletes un-activated members after 10 days.

It still does exactly the same but this time for vb3

oh yeah, it emails you to tell you who was deleted, emailed so you're always informed.


and now like the days of our youth where everything was free and our mum would have dinner on the table for us, you're done.

Ik have this running on 3.8.7 without making changes like 2 -> 2.9999 or 4 to 4.0 or something like that. Works great!

Thanks, So who are the guys that are using it?
I have a lot of Spam bots that join up but since I have set some no sig link and blog post until certain post count they cant post their spam and leave. I also have some members(hums) join up who never seem to confirm their email addresses. Should I Install this? also should I disable being able to make posts and threads for Users waiting email confirmation?


also could anybody show me what values to put under the scheduled tasks / corn job fields? any chanes I need to make to get it working with vbulletin 4.2? Thanks

Yes. That's what it's for. And for the spambots, use GlowHost - Spam-O-Matic.

The point is not to inflate the size of your database with bogus members and not to give dubious characters access to your forum.

Absolutely.

are you sure thats the right one or are you using a different version ? if you look close my one(and the files inside the zip) says manageActivation.php yours says "Inactive Users Reminder Emails" not "Un-Activated User Management"?
