What to do with inactive users

I have some users who are inactive for months or years. What to do with them? I don’t want to delete them because they have made posts. I only just figured this out after looking into why certain emails have been failing for months.

Advice welcome!

Perhaps deactivate users? IIRC their posts will still be kept.

Do you mean the Activity Summary emails?

If you are sure they are never coming back isn’t anonymizing the better choice?

What would be the advantage of anonymizing the user here? I’m curious. Also if the user comes back… what then? Creating a new user and merging?

Fair point. I was thinking if someone has been inactive for years then it is pretty unlikely they will come back.

But you never know…stranger things have happened before.

Leave them be. Do not change a user record unnecessarily.
