Marie Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 How do we easily get rid of people who register but do not activate their account? I just found out that I cannot schedule an event in the database because I am on a shared web hosting plan. I am seemingly getting a lot of "fake" registrants that are taking up space.

Larry Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 Good question! First, I guess I'd say that if having too many database records might be a problem, you probably want to rethink your hosting situation. The space used by fake records should be one of the furthest things from your mind, ideally. I imagine my forums has 1,000-2,000 fake registrations. That being said, you can just run delete queries to remove fake registrations on a manual schedule of your choosing. But it's probably worth trying to implement a couple of things to prevent fake registrations in the first place (reCAPTCHA and then some).
