[Forum Admin] Prune Users or Topics

[MaxWaldorf]

Hello community,

I am accustomed to other systems such as vbulletin or smf and now playing with NodeBB before considering moving to it.

I have been searching and trying but, is there a tool or a way to do some basic maintenance of users and topics?

I.E.:

• I want to prune people that have 0 posts and here for more than 180 days...
• I want to delete posts that are x days without interactions
• I want to remove attachments that are X days old

Those are basic actions that are sometimes essential to maintain a semi-private community...

Are those features available? Are there plugins that could help with that?

Any guidance would be appreciated!

Cheers!

@maxwaldorf The only plugin I can think of at the moment that can do some of what you want is nodebb-plugin-archiver. It will allow you to lock and/or delete topics that pass some arbitrary threshold of no-activity or age.

User pruning is an interesting idea, maybe I can add that to the archiver plugin as well.

GitHub - julianlam/nodebb-plugin-archiver: Archiver Plugin for NodeBB, so that posts after a certain number of days are automatically locked

Thank you for your answer!

This features would be essential for us to shift to node BB.

Hopping to see that coming soon

@maxwaldorf Checking in the thread, very useful features those would be, indeed!

@julian Basic user pruning is essential. If I could even sort the user list by more than one column at a time I could get by manually. An automated plugin sounds even better. Something has to give in this area.
