Delete inactive accounts to a formula!

How about deleting inactive accounts so that we know how many actual posters we have.

Something like:

Delete inactive accounts after X days, where X is the number of posts made by the account; if X < 15 then X = 15; if X > 365 then X = 365.   That way people would have 2 weeks to post something when they join.  Any post you make gets you a minimum of two weeks, maximum of a year (for people with over 365 posts).  If you go look at members, and sort by join date, you will see a TON of people who posted about 5-10 posts, and haven\'t been here in over a year.

i voted yes but i really dont give a ****!!

well personally i have seen alot of peoplethat have been here a long time but do not post often if at all some times - they are just here to watch and every now and then they post something if it peaks their interest - so it wouldn\'t work becuase of that

but i see what you mean and all

I agree, but not with the numbers you use,
I think everybody should get half a year, but if your over 100 you get 1 year and above 500 gives you an imune status

I think they should delete the accounts that have been here for more than a months with 0 posts.

Nice system FatalXception. It\'s fair and will get rid of a lot dead accounts. Ask the admin. if he can start this system.

Well, I\'m hoping the admins will notice this, but there probably has to be a lot more members in agreement, before they\'ll start deleting accounts.  So far it\'s almost a 3:1 ratio in favor of some sort of house cleaning, so that\'s good..

EDIT:  Bwahahah!  Now it\'s a 10:1 ratio!! wow!

I agree with the system but how about sending them a private messege to warn them. If they dont reply to it we will know the dont use it so then delete them

I agree with deleting inactive accounts.The thing that I don\'t like is when someone registers,posts once asking some question then never coming back.

Maybe just delete accounts that are like 3 months old and never used.

I still say DELETE NO-ONE!

Nah seriously, I don\'t see why you\'re getting worked up about inactives. Just let \'em be. Who knows, perhaps they find out they want to post at a later date. It\'s not exactly a crime to not be posting daily.

But it takes up server space. We had a thread about how we reached 3000 posters and a good 1500 of them have never posted. Why waste the server space?

Damn you sound like my mom j/k

I say delete all the names with no posts and over a month old

Then delete all the names with posts less then 500 but nothing in the last year.

Then lets seee where we are at

i still dont give a ****

I like ddaryl\'s idea
