Difference between banning and deleting members

Thank you Ryan, that is quite clear. I see a 'ban button' when I enter the admin area and click manage members. But when I'm in the website itself, I do see the 'delete member' button but not the 'ban member' button.

I have great difficulty managing my members. It looks good but I would like to give my new members a chance to look around the site for a while before they have to upload material. Then after a week if they turn out to be inactive I would like to remove them from the site. But since the 'manage members' list is in alphabetical order I cannot easily sort the latest from the older members and have to go though hundreds of profiles to find the newbies.

I would really like to be able to order the list.

yeah I agree hopefully the members list will have sortable headers. Click date and it sorts by last log in type thing. Easier to purge those none users.

Oh and in the admin there is a little gold bag on the very right. when you click this it deletes the users stuff that was added. Just deleting the user does not remove their uploads and info.

Ryan, does that delete all their post also?

It should but who knows with all the beta quirks. It says clear activity but I think it should delete all their files
