When working the update to Drupal 5.x, I saw some possible (no pressure, of course) features additions:

  • The ability to add an link that says "Do not remind me again" (with functionality of course). Although the user can disable the reminders by logging in, from a usability point of view it is always good to give users a clear option to get rid of your 'spam'.
  • When all N reminders are sent, and the user still hasn't logged on for the first time: delete the user (of course, there should be an ability to turn it off)
  • A combination of the above two: A link that says "Remove my account", which only works if the user hasn't logged in yet.
  • Inform the user in the reminder-mail about how many reminders are left (this could be left to the administrator with simply adding a '!remindersleft' inclusion variable.
  • Add some more inclusion variables: !nth-reminder, !siteurl, !datelastreminder

Well, those were my ideas about this module, what do you think?

Sincerely,
Maarten

All good suggestions - I have implemented the "do not remind me again" one first as the lack of this definitely had the potential to seriously annoy users! Should be available to download - but only for Drupal 5 ...

I am looking at a module that would clean up (delete) accounts that are more than x days old for which the user never logged in. Would it be hard to add this feature? It would be greatly useful.

Thanks

EDIT:

It seems this module does exactly this:
