Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Users Cleanup

3.8 version repost. The same code.

This mod helps to automatically delete user account upon custom-defined rules. For example, you can delete members, who didn't comfirmed emails after 3 days, delete members, who have zero posts and didn't visited your forum for a long time, and so on.

Any conditions can be defined! Cleanup can be done in both automatic and manual mode.

Difference between built-in vB user pruner:

1. Completely automated.
2. Comfotable management of multiple rules.
3. More flexible prune criterias.

Some stat for my forum (only zero-posts users were cleared):

- last user ID 50652
- total users left 19359

60% effectivity!!!

Installation:

Upload files and import product XML.

Configuration:

• Enter ACP and go to Users -> Cleanup.
• Create cleanup rules you needs, and save in inactive state.
• Test you rules. Do manual cleanup, if you wish.
  
• Activate rules (enable automatic cleanup), if you are satisfied with testing results.

Warning! Don't activate cleanup rules without testing! Don't forget to backup your forum database!

PS. Product is marked as beta, because i can't test all possible rules combinations. But those been used - works fine. If you have strange results duging testing, don't hesitate to post screenshot with your rule, and explain what is wrong.

Was NOT tested with 3.6.x & 3.7.x, but probably works.

This mod is delelopped here http://github.com/rcdesign/vb-users_cleanup . Patches are welcome.

What I would like to see in something like this is ability to prune members who have not accepted the rules yet. Any way to add that in easily?

I've got some other problems with spam-users. Let me explain my problem, and see if this mod can do this or can be modified easily.

I run a car forum, where every user can specify his car/model via 2 custom profile fields. spam bots do always fill out these fields upon registration and always choose the first option of these custom fields.
can I insert these custom profile fields into this mod, to find only users, who have filled out these 2 profile fields with the first answers?

Awesome; thanks.

Assuming you've already eliminated spambots with one of the many solutions for them, I can only say I wish I was as lucky as you that our spam-humans would be so obvious. The way it is, I can't tell them from real members and that makes squashing them particularly difficult.
