View Full Version : Mass deletion of old accounts

I deleted close to 800 old accounts today that met all of the following criteria:

- Account created over 2 years old from today (03/17/2008
- Last log in from the user was older than 2 years ago from today (03/17/2008)
- Had zero (0) post count.

I did this for a few reasons:
- To reduce the amount of unused accounts that were created way back when you were required to have one to view pictures, which is no longer required.
- To reduce the amount of unused accounts that were created simply for someone to send a PM to a seller.
- Lastly to clear out the any old "email farming" accounts that may have been left or missed from previous SPAM clean ups.

While I don't anticipate any issues, should anyone feel their account was deleted in error, please simply create a new account and start using it more often. Since the account had no posts and had not been logged into for over 2 years, its safe to say it was not being used anyway.

FYI:

182 more accounts cleared out today that:
- last log in from the user was older than 2 years ago from today and
- had zero (0) post counts.

As mentioned before, should anyone feel their account was deleted in error, please simply create a new account and start using it more often.

Thanks
