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.

I have long time members that have never posted. They come to my site to download quizzes and play games. To me they are valuable as they keep coming back and hence see my Google Ads.

This is a great mod but I agree that it needs to check the registration date

Any chance this can be coded in?

Thanks

So do I. You have the option of setting the add-on to check for last activity instead of last post, which is what I've done. If they log-in, even if all they do is play games, that updates last activity so they'll won't receive an email.

Admin CP | vBuleltin Options | vBulletin Options | Inactive Users Email

Inactivity based on last post = No

Set the inactivity based on the last post made by the user. If set to no, the inactivity will be set by the last activity field (ie, when the member last visited)

Are you guys talking about the same hack here? This hack works on Users Awaiting Email Confirmation using usergroup 3 only and deletes them after 10 days if they don't activate via their email activation link. I keep these users cut off from using my board in anyway until they confirm there email addy by clicking link. This stops potential spammers from spamming my board using a bogus email addy.

You must have been talking about this mod, right?

BTW, I had a little problem here. I clean installed the mod, it sends email to members who haven't activated their account as stated. But after 2 months installed, it seems never delete any single member from the database... any clue? :erm:

[Alibass]

This hack only works on "Users Awaiting Email Conformation" group with zero posts and sends people emails reminders at 3, 5, 8 days and on the 10th deletes them.

I don't understand what you mean about single members.
If you allow posts in UAEC group the hack will not delete them.

Like many others, I never let anyone in UAEC to post They can't post before they activate their account. My board has been running for years, it has thousands member. Half of them had never activated their account after registration. I installed this hack in January 2008 to encourage them to activate their account. This hack sent emails to members in UAEC after 3,5,8 days. Even UAEC member before I installed this hack got the email. It's all good.

But in my case, this hack doesn't delete them after 10 days. In my database, I can see I still have thousands UAEC member who registered since begining of the site. That's what I'm trying to say...

Any hints? Thanks
