Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Users Cleanup

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.

Thanks,,

Look for description in first post. The're manual "test" mode. It contains confirmation and list of found users for that rule. Anyway, it's a good idea to backup database prior changes.

you think you could make this PM users with 0 posts?

[Vitaly]

No plans now to do that. But code is reuseable, you can make your fork, or send changes here http://github.com/rcdesign/vb-users_cleanup

Hi, I´d like to purge users who have 0 posts and have the same registration and last visit date. And all spammers users, for example, every user registered with @mail.ru e-mails, or @*up.com.

Can I mass prune using this criteria types with Users Cleanup?

Thanks!

I downloaded and installed this today on 3.8.5. I uploaded each of three files individually and triple-checked their locations. (users_cleanup.php is in admincp) I then imported the product XML. I do not have a "Cleanup" option under the Users menu in the navigation frame. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product XML, but that didn't seem to fix it. What might I have done wrong?

Edit: Solved. I had to add myself to the superadministrator group before I could see it. Might be helpful for other newbies to mention that in your description.

This is a very handy tool you've created and a big time saver. Thank you for sharing!
