Mass Delete Inactive Members and Zero Posters · **Released**: 07-30-2002

[ Feature Description ]
After some quick calculations we found out that over 7000 of our members were both zero posters and have not visited the board in over one month. After searching first through vBulletin, I noticed there was no script that did this (although there was a script to hunt out inactive users). Deleting each user one by one would take forever so I decided to write a script that made this much easier! In the script just set the minimum number of posts and the maximum number of days inactive and the script will automatically delete these users. Instead of just deleting the user from the user table, all calendar items made by the user are deleted, all custom avatars are deleted, private mesages are deleted and even their subscription settings. I hope this script helps a lot of other people as well.

[ What you need to do ]
Open up massdelete.php, edit the two variables under CONFIGURATION. Then just drop this into your admin directory and run the file.

[ Tested on ]
vBulletin versions 2.2.6 (should work with any vBulletin 2+)

[ Future Plans ]
Probably I will add a feature that emails the user telling them their account has been deleted.

Hope everyone finds this hack useful! If you have any comments or suggestions post them here.

ok about the 0 posters thing, would it not be great, where you can offer the user ID to be retaken by new members, with either the same user name or a new one!

hey d00d does this make it so it don't delete the posts of the members who are mass deleted

I think this is a great feature. I've always used the move/prune at my board, but from what I can see, it works really well on Gamingforce's board.

It can for one in such a way make which one by a form in input test AREAS the days and Posts to indicate can and then only delete. Super would be nice.

Question: How can I set these inactive users so their profile is no longer viewable. They don't get added in total members. You can't PM those users.

But if they log in again it reactivates their account?

Would there be a way to make this so you can enter the number of days of inactivity each time instead of having it only be in the php file?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
