Mass moderate users?

sashok · January 2012

Is there a way to mass-delete users in the back-end of Vanilla? I have a lot of confirm email registrations, most of which as spammers/bots, and the only way I see to delete them is to do so one-by-one.

There is no way to do this right now, no.

I'm pretty sure we added this in 2.0.18. What version are you using?

sashok · January 2012

@Lincoln I'm on Version 2.0.18.1 but don't seem to be able to mass-edit users.

I'm at www.Gmauthority.com/forum

I can't find a way to do this either...

Lincoln · January 2012

I misread as wanting to remove applicants. That's the only mass-selection available in 2.0.18.

sashok · January 2012

@Lincoln are applicants considered those who have not confirmed an email address?

Probably, yes, but that can be easily moved into a plugin, if you're willing to program it, sashok

Yes, i want this function also. I also remember another thread dealing with it.

Please integrate at least a checkbox next to each registered user in the backend that can be checked and a buttons that delete them. that won't be that hard or?

I recommend never saying that to a developer.

@UnderDog I wish I could make it... but my skills are with basic HTML and CSS :(

@Lincoln: Hehe, sorry. You are right. But i guess it's not a magical thing for those people that created a magical thing called Vanilla. ;)

@phreak wonderful :) @Todd I don't think this requires much effort - it's hardly a few minutes work - under an hour at the most for the core developers. I could have coded it myself, but I don't know what all tables and fields are effected when someone becomes a user. If I knew that, I could sweep my forum clean. I am getting hundreds of bot regs weekly, which is the frequency I moderate it.

I think laughing as I type....

If we could have all coded things ourselves, life would be so much easier, then we wouldn't have to depend on others, if only we knew. We know it is very easy for someone else to do, but not quite so easy for us because (name your reason a) too hard, b) don't know c) if only I had ... )

But seriously - you should try the botstop plugin with approval. it works quite well.

Howdy, Stranger!
