Topic: Can't set default group after using User Management plugin

Hey all,

Using 1.2.19.

To stop the influx of spammers I've been receiving, I setup an Unverified group as the default with no posting access. Everything was fine.

Then I used the User Management plugin (1.3) and:

Prune by: Registered date
Minimum days since registration/login: 7
Maximum number of posts: 1
Delete admins and mods: No
User status: Delete only verified

with the above, it deleted over 100, but there was only 5 in the last 7 days. Switching user status from Delete only verified to Delete any deleted more.

Essentially it deleted anyone with a 0 post count, which is a separate problem, but it caused the problem below.

My problem is now new users are suddenly not put into Unverified - they are put into Members, which gives them access to post.

I've deleted the Unverified group and created the same group - same problem.

I've deleted that group and changed the name to something else and made it the default group - still puts new users into Members.

It should be noted that I can manually change their group from Members to Unverified.

Help!

Re: Can't set default group after using User Management plugin

A little update.

So usually 4-5 spambots sign up at a time, and since running that plugin, usually 1 of the 4 that sign up are marked as Unverified (the rest are marked as Members).

I had a friend sign up, and she was marked as a Member - but she couldn't post or do anything. So really she was set as Unverified, but the userlist has her as Member.

However, when she used the PM mod and messaged me, it set her to Unverified in the user list.

So.. although a new user is listed as a Member, they're still in the Unverified group and can't post - which is good. But something weird is still going on.

The tool works as it should (it was my misunderstanding of how it works).

However, the problem still remains that newly registered users are shown as being in either the "Unverified" or "Member" group when they should just be listed in the "Unverified" group when I sort and display them in the User list.

What is set in Administration / User groups (/admin_groups.php) as the Default group?

Hi Anatoly, I completely missed your response.

Unverified is my default group, which gives read-only access.
