Deleting members

How do I delete all the members on my forum that have not posted at all?

Remove Inactive Members - This function allows the removal of inactive users. It is possible to delete all users who have not logged in for a defined period of time, or who have not activated the account. It is also possible to select to prune only one or more membergroups.

But almost everybody on the forum is inactive. I just want to delete all the ones who havn't posted anything because their either bots or spammers.

there is no automated way to do that....

you could sort the admin memberlist by posts and delete a page at a time...

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I tried doing this last night and nothing happened.  I want to delete an entire member group, who have less than three posts, and who have not logged in for more than 30 days.  I selected the member group, set the 30 day criteria, pressed Remove, got the warning that this cannot be undone, confirmed, and it said that the members had been deleted, but when I checked, they are all still there.  Any ideas?

There isn't an option for number of posts in that maintenance task.

No, but there is to select a Membergroup, which in this case, is those that have less than three posts. I'm not trying to set the number of posts as a criteria for deletion.  It should just delete the members in that Membergroup, based on 'last logged in more than 30 days ago', shouldn't it?

Had the same problem... sorted them by last login, ended up selecting one by one and deleting them one page at a time... except I wanted those with 0 posts and that haven't logged in for the past 3 years deleted.

That's what I've ended up doing.  Got rid of about 1000 that have never posted, one page at a time in the member's list.
