See screenshots to understand this all better.

Excellent improvements! I installed it again! Maybe you could also add an email feature that sends them an email every so often that tells them I'm going to prune them unless they post It would be nice if that warning was automated. Actually, it would be nice if pruning the no posters could be automated too.
Would be nice if this hack also would include the possibility to put 0-Poster into a special group and also delete them after x days.
That's what I miss for a long time.
I saw it on a WBB hack and it works good.
Can you expand this hack for that feature?
Means that a user becomes after x days after registration a automatic warning and after x days more inactivity he will be deleted ob put into a ban group?
Thnx for the answer and sorry for my maybe badly english!
