Hi everyone,

I run a private invite-only discourse server. Thanks to the simple installation etc I have been able to keep it live since 2016 (apart from one broken issue when upgrading the docker).

Is it possible to kick off users automatically if they don’t contribute any posts or perhaps haven’t visited the forum in a set amount of time.

My forum is not looking for users but I want to get rid of the lurkers also.

Any links or pointers to such functionality (if already present) would be much appreacited!!
