this is a class for corntab job, and the validation is very simple, just check if the status of user is active when cron job runs, if not, throws an exception, other developers won't want to overwrite this validation. which method of user class will be called is configurable via website backed page(we write the name of methods directly in to schedule table). Using private methods will solve the problem but since we write public methods for all the other cron classes, I just want to keep the style to make less confusion.
