Site Forum

This may have been asked before, but is there a "weeding out" period for members who haven't logged on to the site for an extended period of time?

For exampe: if you have not logged on in say 6 months, you get a warning email. If you don't respond then your account gets disabled or deleted. 

Just wondering. Keep coming across profiles that have not been logged in to for over a year. Can sometimes be frustrating when looking for trades. Members have to weed through users who are actually using the site and who isn't.

If someone spent the time logging a collection, I would hate to see the work get "timed out" and they would have to start over.  If someone were inactive for a long period, say over 18 months, and had no collection and what not, I wouldn't be opposed, seems harmless at that point.

Maybe instead of deleting them, you can just put an asterisk or label on their account showing it is an inactive account and traders would know not to waste their time?

No passion on this, just thought I would toss some ideas around based on the original post.

I think you already answered your own question in the third paragraph.  No

Not in favor of disabling or deleting, but I would be good with a flag or icon next to members names that haven't logged in for x months or more, or even making trade lists and wantlists private instead of viewable

I'd be Happy if the trade matcher could be programed so that only people who have signed in for 3 to 6 months would appear on the list.  I'm also in favor of an inactive status but not deleting members.  I started doing some pif's from some sets where I have lots of inventory and got so frustrated that so many people hadn't logged in for 6 months up to two years I gave up.  That coupled with no published addreses made me focus my attention elsewhere.  

I just want them to stop showing up in the card match lists. It's the same as some random person who isn't a site member having the card I want. Does nothing for me.  

I have put my 2 cent in several times about this.   I also let known what ADIM told me about it when I sent him a message.

It appears there are 2 features to deal this but they are going no wear.   80% of the cards on my want list matches should be on that list.

Easy killer, just having a conversation here. 

I think that would be most helpful.

Just to clerify; I'm not in favor of deleting peoples accounts just starting a discussion.
