Delete Unactive Members

I was scrolling the members page, and noticed there are over 150 pages of members who only signed up, stayed for an hour, or even less than ten minutes, and never came back on. Most of them haven't even posted a single thing. To clear up BS's space, mods could delete any member who haven't been on in forever.

Yes, I did check the main site, and there are also tons of members who haven't been on there in ages, much less here.

Mods, if there already is a topic like this, or it needs to be moved, please do so. :wink:

I really do like this idea...Inactive members just take up data space and clog up the list of members. Anyone with 0 posts who joined from like, say,'06-'04 should just be deleted. Nevermind the person's right to have an account. They NEVER use it, so exactly why are they still allowed to keep their account and let it fill up web space? Its just another obnoxious and frankly inconsiderate action dealt out by so called 'members', or rather, 'free-loaders'. :roll:

Excuse my wording...I know exactly what I mean to write, but most of it always gets lost in translation. :lol:

I think there was another topic about this. Not sure.
But yes, this needs to be done, I mean, at least deleat your acount and save space.

Can mods do this, or does Steet have to do it. Maybe a warning email to those who haven't been on should be issued.

Mods can delete members. The email thing might be a good ting to do. It would be like a reminder that they had an account, but the mods would have to send no telling how many emails.

Steet has said before, one account, No profile, No posts, No fan creations exc. Take up ONE line of Database, however, it's getting rediculous

I already made a topic like this:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=23237

(It's old, but not really dead)

What has been said.
Anyway, I won't delete them, because they are *potential* new visitors. I mean, if they registered, that's because they were interested in the site. Whatever reason they didn't stay is another thing, but I did want to send an email to all these members, however I still didn't find a good way to do mass emailing (maybe I will do it when I get my own dedicated server)
Also, don't forget that not all members on the site post on the forums. Some users may be active on the site and have 0 posts on the forums.
