Delete Accounts that are clearly not Active....

[The.Wizard]

I'd be in favour of automatically wiping any accounts that have 0 posts and haven't been logged into for a year or more. Owner definitely doesn't want them then, after all.

I kinda second this.
There is a Wizard acc created long ago (2007,last visit 2008) and never used...
I didn't know that so when i took this nik i had to put dot at the end. It sucks...
So if admins or mods could delete that acc i would really apriciated.
Or you can just erase my dot...or give it to him
Please.

Anyway,i'm with jammi on this for really old and unused accounts.

Oh, careful with that one.
I know a lot people who are registered at different forums, just to read only - they just registered to have rights to access more subs, to see images, download attachments or follow links.
I also do on some, just for information and images.
So an active person on the server, but read-only forum user, might be not that amused if he/she comes back some day...


Don't know about myBB, but for other softwares there are options to see users logging history, so you can detect the *one timer* and the *read only* users easily, also an autodetect could do, I think.


Think the individual logged in time would be best, combined with the age of the account.
If it's used for 5 minutes in 3 years, I'd guess that user has A: re-registered with another account or will do so or B: will never return.

these accounts are such a massive resource of potential players if somebody would just bother to use it. its so blindingly obvious.

This is the only way I could get behind this idea, no reason to delete old accounts even if they don't come back if they were active members at some point.

What's the problem with these accounts? It's not like the accounts take up space or anything. There's no real reason to delete them. Some people drop the game for one, two or even three years only to return and become fully fledged members of the community.

And if you need to find members, have you tried using the search function?

Problem i had when changin my name, so many good names are taken by inactive players, ace for example.

you'll never be the real ace

So it just about name, not account ; right ?

We should use the rule regarding normal in-game accounts, which is 6 months of inactivity.

[Hidamari]

does nobody see what kind of player resource contacting the people via the forum that have made an account on this forum is?

tens of thousands of potential players that were here at some point and may have become busy, forgotten, whatever the case, but no lets just delete them all. they cant be used for anything right?

wow.

Sending an email to those people might not be a bad idea after all.

Deleting accounts is dumb and should never be done. If you can't come up with an original nickname, that's your problem.
