Are there any settings that affect automatic deletion of “inactive” users other than:

### clean up inactive users after days

which I have set to 0 in an attempt to disable ALL automatic deletions of users under any circumstances (regardless of activity, membership level, etc.)

On my forum many users are lurking read-only via email, and others might only have a need to visit once every few years or so! I don’t want automatic deletion of any users, ever.

Thanks.
