Delete members with 0 posts

[ACE]

Whats your take on deleting members with 0 posts? Do u just mass prune them all or give them a chance to start posting or whatever...

I just decided to mass prune all users with 0 posts and u may think its stupid, but if they really wanted to be apart of the forum they would make a post or 2.

comments?

+1 to that..non-active users just make database longer...

agreed I am thinking of doing the same thing with users that have been registered at least 7 days

Man you should at least give the members a chance..I mean 1 or 2 months of inactivity would be cool

i removed 60 thousand from 1 of my old websites i hate inactive members and dead posts

If your database has like (estimate) 1-7k members and you have lots of members with 0 posts, its prolly a good idea to prune all with 0 posts and keep going from there. Like i said, if they really wanna be there they will reregister... no point in having members with 0 posts and they never come back.

I agree but diasgree,

if your forum (download sections) are open to all including guests then yeah why not prune members with 0 posts but if its not they obviously joined to see content so I don't see why you should prune them as without those leechers there would be not much point in a forum? yes there are some members who download and upload but a lot of them just upload for cash, rs points, ect so to me it would deepened on if your forum is accessible all areas by guests

well my forum isn't accessible to guests, but still i stand behind that if they wanna come back they will.. then you will know who your members are and who isnt/wasnt.

Its wise to send an email out a week prior to pruning them and warn them about possible pruning

Just let the admins take care of what they want. Ive never been a pro-pruning person.
