auto delete members after subscription expires
I want to have a 30 day free trial with limited permissions, if they don't upgrade then their account needs to be auto deleted. If they do upgrade, then as soon as they stop paying their account needs to be auto deleted. How do I set this up?

Hello Genesis !
It's possible to do via the alert handler system. But this way may drive to the cases when the unprocessed payments can drop the good account. The default way when the unpaid users will be transferred to the Standard level with the limited actions is better (IMHO).

My only concern about the default way is that when people downgrade back to standard, their videos and other things that they uploaded as a premium member are still there and I have to pay money to keep hosting it. I could lose serious money that way. I'm still thinking about the best way to do this though. If I do it as a dating site, I want to delete them to remove the old abandoned profiles. Even with a normal social network, I don't want to pay to host videos when they are no longer a paying member.
What about auto deleting the content that they uploaded for apps that require a premium membership? For example, only premium members can upload videos, so when they revert back to standard their videos get deleted. Can I do that? I think that would be the best option to prevent social bankruptcy. People will just pay for one month and upload a bunch of videos, then stop paying and I have to host it forever and I don't have money to clone youtube.

Then it would be better to create the new cron file/method in the current videos which will clear the videos from the users with standard levels.

Excellent point made. Definitely need something implemented into UNA that will handle this automatically based on users membership status. I think a script that can mark the premium content as inactive or unavailable to the profile so that it's stored but not ever being streamed and can be marked again as available should the member upgrade their account in the future. Deleting should be a last resort if the first cannot be implemented.

Yes, it is a good point for the good mod. So possible admin will have a list of user content available in UNA (photos, videos etc) with the activation /deactivation buttons near every item there. And settings deactivate or delete content for the downgraded users.
