No Thanks Inactive users.

Well I think we should make some sorta policy...like...if you're innactive for 4 months or so, you should be taken out. Some people are gone for a while, but there are more innactives than actives on this forum...

 

You are talking about cleaning out members as if they are trash or some sort of genocide.

I'm firmly against this. I believe that the users who have no posts, either did it because they could, or LIKE ME, i had to create a membership to be able to continue to view threads. If anyone were to do this, it would be staff, not a regular member or even a prem.

RvR is right, it might hurt, but in the long run, it's fine the way it is.

I'm firmly against this.

not gonna happen, closing the topic to prevent spam.

 

Member Clean Up

I haven't found the need to suggest anything for a long while, since everything here has been fine. One thing I noticed, though, and I know something like this was suggested before, but why not have a member clean up system?

On the members list, there are literally hundreds and hundreds of members who haven't been on in ages. If you are browsing through, wouldn't it be better to see more common members then ones who last logged in the day after kh-vids was made?

Now, I know there is a problem with, "Well, what if they want to log on for the hell of it? Or they haven't been on for a long while and wish to go back on?"

I was thinking that if a member has not been on for a certain amount of time, their name and profile will be removed from the members list. Posts from these members will still be visible, though, as well as threads.

A link, visible on the front page, should show a way to contact staff to "renew your account." It will be perfectly visible to the members list now.

This would not apply to permabanned people (obviously)


So, what do you think? ​

 

Wasn't this topic already rejected before?

 

Already been suggested.

No. We'll lose interweb cred. Not to mention, we'd be creating a whole new category of members/a whole new member list, just for inactive people.

 

i posted a thread about this :3


i still agree with the idea ;D

 

Suggested before, even on this PAGE.

Reasons why it was rejected are there dear. xD Please take the time to look through these before you make new threads, aight?

Delete!

Is it possible for those people who never use their accounts (let's say they haven't used it in 1 year) to be deleted from the site? I'm tired of all the names being taken. I'm sure alot of users are annoyed with it too.

 

What if they decided to become active again? Thats hardly fair.

I think this has been suggested already, too. Check the list that is stickied.

 

Yep, I believe it has, and it has been rejected already.

 

If that was in effect from the start I wouldn't be here, I joined and then never logged in for over a year so it wouldn't be too good if the member decided to become active and ended up not having an account anymore

 

Well of these people put their email address up, you could email them and ask if you could delete the account.
Few people put their address up, but it's possible

 

The number of members makes KH-V look good as a forum. Even the inactive ones. KH-V can make more money if it has more members. And ultimatly, KH-V will only run if it stays profitable.

It has been rejected, and will be rejected again.

 

It has been suggested and rejected more than once.

We wont be deleting members.

As ICSP rightly said, for one thing the higher number of users there are the better for the site.

Plus as Obsessed said, some members are inactive for a very very long time and then come back.

I am not deleting members just so you can steal their names D:​

~locked~​

 

old users

did any of you ever notice that when you go one the member list there is thousands of people that do not even go here anymore i mean i know it is rude to delete old users but i think it is a good idea to delete old users that have left forever or left without notice and delete them permentatly

by old i mean have not been online for like 2 years.​

 

Seing as how it's kind of hard to find some user's...yeah. But I'd have to say no, seeing as how there may be a chance they log in again.

 

More members (even if they aren't all active) = better site statistics and value. We cannot determine which accounts will become active again, therefore we cannot delete them.

This has been discussed before...

Closed

 

**To add on to what CM said

We have tried having a system where older, less active members, rather than getting deleted, simply do not appear until logging on again. Then, say, after 3 or 4 months of inactivity, show up on the lists again.

But as CM said, we can't really do that, since we need to keep stats and things higher. It was a good suggestion, but it just can't be executed that way.

 

The jungle of members needs pruning

In short, we have too many members. Now I'm not talking about our valued members who contribute to the forums, I'm talking about the 0 post members who just sit there taking up space on the server (minor point) and more importantly taking up names that other members may genuinely want. Also, it just looks messy if you have a ton of inactive members just for the member count. It doesn't say good things about the site when we boast of having X number of members, when 75% of those have less that 50 posts and haven't done anything in months.

Now I'm not suggesting that we prune accounts as soon as they're inactive for a day, nor even for a few years, providing they were active. Keep the accounts with more than 100 posts. But all the accounts more than six months inactive with under 50 (or 25 if 50's too much) posts are just eyesores which no one would miss.

Change the dates if you want. Change the criteria for pruning if you want. The details aren't that important to me. Just clean up the member list and free up the number of 1337 and the usernames locked away in stasis.
