[OzzModz] Activation Reminder & User Purger - Automatically remind & remove inactive user registrations

Activation Reminder & User Purger
For larger forums, managing membership can be a daunting task. With Activation Reminder, automatically send an email to users who have registered but never activated their account after a set number of days. If they still don’t activate their account, utilize User Purger to clear them out automatically after a specific time, too!

Features

• Set the number of days to wait before sending another reminder to activate their user account...

What a GREAT feature. This is something I have to manually do, every week or so.

Thanks for carrying the torch to keep this alive!

 

[Ozzy47]

You're welcome.

Sounds good.
But one question.
Inactive users are only users who did not activate their account?

Because i have a a user group where i put users in if they have not posted the last 90 days. This only revoke some rights at the forum. If they start posting again they leave this group.

I don't wanna purge this users.

 

[Ozzy47]

This should only purge users that have not verified their email.

 

[teletubbi]

Since this can happen over the time some email addresses of users become invalid.
Some users don't care about it, some even dont recognize it.
So bounced emails will set to a special status to update their address. Revoke also some rights at the forum till they update it.

What about this users? Will this users also be affected?

 

[Ozzy47]

If they haven't confirmed their email after registration, they will be purged based on your settings.

 

[teletubbi]

Their emails has been confirmed long time ago.
But now adresses are not valid anymore.

So they are in the state of "Awaiting email confirmation (from edit)" or "Email invalid (bounced)"

Just wanna make sure that no old members are affected by this.
Only new registrations.

 

[Ozzy47]

It specifically purges users with the status Awaiting email confirmation, all other users (including Awaiting email confirmation (from edit)) will stay untouched.

@Ozzy47 I realise you are really busy (and many thanks for re-releasing these!) - Just wondered if there was any chance of adding the ability to do exactly what this add-on does, however to also include for those users that havent logged on for x days ??

Ive been going since the early days of xf - just want to remove anyone who hasnt been on in the last 5 years etc

Many thanks!

 

[Ozzy47]

I’ll look into it when I can.

 

[JasonBrody]

Great to see the TH addon now being supported by you @Ozzy47

 

[JOGARA]

Started purging as soon as I installed the addon. No warning, no

 

[robt]

Be warned this deleted 2000 users for me on installation.

As Jogra said, no warning.

Perhaps set the default to ZERO on both then admins updates? Terrible.

 

[Rhody]

yea it zapped a bunch of regular users for me, a year ago. Some of them had thousands of posts. I think it was because some of them had bounced emails and were in a locked status. I disabled the purging cron to prevent that in the future. If it only acted on NEW accounts, that might be a better plan IMO.

But it's still a great tool. My bad for not understanding what it might do.

 

[robt]

Undocumented deletion of users on install without choice is a shocker regardless of how good a plugin is once bedded in.

 

[KhanTastic]

Has anyone tried this recently, is it safe to use please. Because I see some posts here saying it removes users and posts.
It look great and a MUST have addon but I wanna make sure, it works without doing any harm.

 

[Mr Lucky]

Because I see some posts here saying it removes users and posts.

There is nothing about it removing posts.

 

[KhanTastic]

There is nothing about it removing posts.

Ah I see, I do not have anyway users on my site, if posts are not harm, i would love to go ahead and give it a try

 

[Rhody]

I had to disable one of the crons, to keep it from deleting accounts that were temporarily in a bounced state, but it is otherwise great for the other half of what it does.
