UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic UBB.classic 6 Support Can I remove members who don't activate their accounts

Hi All:

I have my 6.3.1 set up to validate all new users by email. The need to log in via their email the first time.

Which is fantastic.

So here is the question. How can I distinguish AND remove all the people who never activated their accounts but registered? I have a monthly contest on my bulletin board. I pick a random winner from all the registered users. Obviously, I don't want to pick an inactive registered user.

I thought about deleting all members with 0 posts. But they could have active account but just be "shy" and not post.

There MUST be something in the code that can be run to delete all if "X = inactive".

Thanks

Unfortunately, there isn't.

You COULD delete all members with 0 posts who have were registered prior to a given date, but that still doesn't account for the lurkers.

Well, this sounds like it would be a fairly easy addition to make to a future upgrade!

Thank you

It's a feature that's already been requested. See this thread for the last discussion.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I didn't see it in Charles' Top 10 list <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

This one should be easy to implement.

Thanks

which is the Charles' top list?

The list is in that thread I pointed to, but that's an old version, many of the requested items on that list have already been implemented.

Charles, any chance you could posted an "updated" list?

Yeah, but by posting it I'd tell you what the things we'd be doing in the version after 6.5 would be, and I'm not about to do it. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

You'll like it, though. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
