Can discourse delete archived posts automatically and accept registration without email?

I want to have discourse delete archived posts automatically in certain categories or all categories

You can auto delete and auto close topics with topic timers.

You could also configure a category to auto close its topics:

@oxygen-cat

Can I make email optional during registration?

I don’t think that’s possible without modifying the code or writing a custom plugin. You could use SSO instead and find a platform that doesn’t do email validation, then set require_activation=true (we don’t recommend you do this unless you have any other way to check your users are valid), check DiscourseConnect - Official Single-Sign-On for Discourse (sso)
