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.

A registered and activated user changed the email and got deleted without a warning after one day. This was a useful hack for a long time, but now I can only suggest to not install this hack.

I've been using this through several upgrades now and I've never seen that happen. In fact, the add-on sends out emails daily listing who got the 3-day, 5-day, and 8-day warnings so I can't even imagine how anyone would be deleted by the add-on after one day.
Are you certain the member didn't do something odd or forget to do something (e.g., hit the "Save" button after changing the email address)?

The user registered on 25.07.2007 and was a regular and activated member, changed the email address on 10.10.2007 and got deleted yesterday. So this script seems only to compare two values, the registration time and the status of activation.
This means if a long time member changes the email and doesn't activate before the cronjob start than this member will be deleted. In the Activation Reminder Report mail, this user is listed too as deleted user.

If this is confirmed, that's a serious problem with this add-on.

We approve all new account registrations and that means when someone changes an email address we have to re-approve the account. And that can take 24 hours or more and we've never had one instance when a member who has made posts has had their account deleted.
So if this is the case it can only happen to accounts with zero posts so it's not going to be a very serious in practice problem. (Since it will only delete an account with zero posts so that member would have the slight inconvenience of having to re-register but they could use the same user-name, email address and so on, again in practice not much more work than changing an email address.)

sabret00the, can you confirm that the add-on also checks for zero posts? I have temporarily disabled this on two forums until I can verify that it won't delete a member who has posted.
