Title: Forum Account will be Automatically Deactivated
Post by: Nahee_Enterprises on August 14, 2013, 02:54:45 PM
Got an email just a few hours ago, from I assume Christian Kleinhuis, that states the following:

Quote from: cKleinhuis
This is the Final reminder Email, if you do not respond with a login to the forum your account will be automatically deactivated.
( This happens just if you have 0 posts! )

Since its been a while, we thought we would send you a personal invitation to return.

First of all, I never got previous "reminders" for this to be a "final" one.  What happened to the others??   :hmh:

Secondly, according to the Stats page:
  • I am the number 4 person who has the "Most Time Online" within this forum.
  • Out of the "Top 10 Topics (by Views)", I have four of those topics.
  • And under the "Top 10 Posters", I am number 7 with 1,531 posts.

I know I have not been very active in posting that much anymore, but when I sometimes spend most of each week just trying to make a living so that I can survive a bit longer with my many cancer treatments, does not mean that I do not visit this forum and view what has been going on.

I think automatic deactivation is a bit of over kill to clean out those people that have never participated at all, except for their initial sign up to the forum!!!   :angry:

hi nahee, nice hearing from you, the system is automated, i installed it to clean out the user database from non-existant emails, or real inactive,
the system is set to only delete users that have zero postings, so your account is going to stay, i am somehow sorry for it, but actually with 4.000
users we just have at most 1.000 real-emails, or real-users or something, and from time to time i want to send out newsletters, when doing so
i get problems with my hoster because the system thinks i am doing a spam attack, although the system might be right, i dont want to spend
time sending to non-existant email adresses

this is the only plugin for the forums available for doing so, and i think it makes sense to sort out the user-database
