If you have set up the cronjobs for deleting unverified and "unfinished" opac
self registrations, a wrong setting in the
PatronSelfRegistrationDefaultCategory system preference can lead to accidental
deletion of a lot of your patrons. This will happen if you enter one of your
regular patron category codes instead of using a specific one for self
registrations. It will then delete all patrons that have registere more than
PatronSelfRegistrationExpireTemporaryAccountsDelay days ago. This is also a
complete deletion, not moving the data to deletedborrowers, making it even
harder to fix the mistake.

I think it would be great to add a hint or warning about this to the system
preference description. 

It currently reads:

Use the patron category code ____ as the default patron category for patrons
registered via the OPAC.
