Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Ban Inactive Users

This vBulletin product / cronjob bans inactive users at regular intervals:

• users who have registered but haven't confirmed their email within the past 21 days and never have posted (applies to user group 3 only)
• users who have registered but haven't connected within the past 90 days and never have posted (applies to user group 2 only)

There are no user interfaces or settings, but you may change the cronjob interval from the AdminCP - Scheduled Tasks.
A short installation guide is included.

Thanks

I'm not sure if this would be useful, because the user can always come back.

If I registered on a forum and wasn't active and came back one day to see my account was banned, I wouldn't bother creating another one.

Just my 2cents

Yeah I know

We have pretty rigid privacy laws though and manual pruning of inactive users can become a problem for sites with over 1000 registered users. Time consuming and repetitive work

Why dont you just you just make them get deleted, rather than banned?

Why dont you use the add-on if it's useful for you, instead of questioning the author why he did it that way. He already answered the question!

I want to keep the numbers

A high number of users is always advantageous, and besides that, it avoids people to register again and again with the same nick names

It woul dbe awesome if they could be moved into a new usergroup.

I took note for the next release ... however you con change the usergroup inside the file biu_cron.php in the queries:

SET usergroupid=8

where usergroupid=N defines the destination.
