Batch delete disabled users?

[Jesaiah]

Hello there,

OJS 3.3.0.8
We have enabled user mail confirmation after registration.
I take it that the system stores the registration in the userdatabase as “disabled” and switches it to “enabled” after the user responds to the registration email?

If so, I need to weed out roughly 190 fake user accounts that have accumulated over the last years.
Is there a search option for “disabled users” ? I only find the role filter, which is obviously not very useful in this case …

Thank you !

Hi @Jesaiah,

The following thread and documentation might prove useful:

How to batch remove users with bounced email addresses?

Thank you, @dagosalas. I see there the command that I can use: $ php tools/mergeUsers.php myUsername spamUser1 spamUser2 spamUser3 […] A tiny question - should I first match each email address to a username or would an email address qualify as spamUser1?
