Last Friday I updated Discourse to v2.3.0.beta8 (from Beta 3 I think it was). Since then, it has deleted 1500 inactive users (defined as (trust level 0 without any posts if I understand correctly). We did not want those to be deleted. I am reporting this as a bug because I feel that Discourse shoul…

I already did. My point or question is, why is it only doing this now?

This feature is nice but it lacked some kind of admin’s approval for first run after update.

A few reasons. It leads to artificially inflated stats, “we have 50,000 users” but … do you? If those users haven’t been on your site in more than two years in any meaningful way, either reading or posting, at all, in any capacity whatsoever … are they really users on your site? :thinking: It’…

These reasons all make sense and I have no issue with the removal of such accounts. It seems to me the real issue on this topic is that users feel they haven’t been informed of this change. I’m not sure if this was actually in 2.3.0beta8 but if it was, it’s not in the release notes (And yeah, if you…

However I feel a great deal of thought needs to be given before rolling out new default behaviours that res…

Can I confirm something here please: If the user (TL0) used to post a bit but no longer does (hasn’t for over 2 years) then they will be deleted by default? Or are we talking about accounts that have never posted, ever, and were created over 2 years ago? ie “without any posts” means just that, r…

I’m slightly puzzled why anyone would roll out updates to a client site without reading the release notes and staging them first. That’s just asking for trouble. Were I a client reading that post I would be alarmed by the lack of due diligence being carried out here. I’m hoping that at the very mi…

[תמונה] merefield: If the user (TL0) used to post a bit but no longer does (hasn’t for over 2 years) then they will be deleted by default? No, the user cannot have any posts. Per discourse/app/jobs/scheduled/clean_up_inactive_users.rb at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub , the user must not …
