I want to make it clear I used another free product and deleted more than 130 000 users in a few minutes with minimal effort. I didn’t have to restart a complicated set up procedure time and time again as with your plug-in. So don’t give me the lacking resources part thank you.

The only way this could be achieved by this other plugin is by directly deleting the user rows from the user table using a custom SQL query without calling WordPress built-in function. This may be fine for quickly deleting data from the db, but this is going to leave lot of residual data in the db. For example user will have user meta in user meta table, roles, user options, transients, cache etc. Also if the user has some posts associated with them, then those posts will become orphaned in the db. My plugin calls WordPress built-in functions to delete users (or posts) and they remove all these additional information when you delete a user (or post). But these additional steps need additional server resources.

I don’t have time to look trough 10+ plug-ins and then get into each and every little difference and detail of variations of one like yours. Please guide potential customers better and make these things MORE CLEAR. OK?

Thanks for this honest feedback. I agree that the website and the add-on checkout process is quite complex right now. My plugin (and add-ons) provide very granular control and this has increased the complexity. I am currently working on making the website and the entire checkout process much simpler for users by introducing bundles and buy-all options etc and this feedback was very useful.
