Bob Gnarly Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 can we please delete accounts after a certain period if they have less then 50 posts, because theres so many i saw while searching through the members list, i mean come on, they probably registered to say one thing and leave! plus theres a user name i want but because the person has posted once and once only i cant http://www.lucasforums.com/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=32156 and the list goes on and on...
mercatfat Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 A certain admin did that task once and got shunned for it. Although you'd think it'd make great sense to do so, since it cleans up the database and all, it appears to be frowned upon. However, if they've got more than a couple posts, they can stay. After all, if an account dies and it's still in a thread, it will appear as "guest".
swphreak Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 Just say that if a person is inactive for a certain amount of days, their account gets deleted. This other forum I used to goto did that. And I think they even had a "Vacation" Button you'd select so that you'll recieve more time because you're on vacation and can't get to a computer.
Acrylic Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 It would make good sense....with that whole "Vacation" Button. Except, instead of deleting them after days...how about months...like half a year...or 1 year. This would make alot of sense, and I bet it would make the forums ALOT faster. Thats my 50 Cents
ZBomber Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 Yeh, I mentioned this before (not on LF). They register, and never post. It should be after a month or 2, if there are no posts by the user, their account shall be deleted. If an admin had got in trouble for it, the staff should get together and talk about the idea. It would help LF GREATLY.
Lord Fergie Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 Some people don't post much like Aresen mod *pheonix* who has like 60 post since 99 maybe?!?!
Metallus Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 No. Boss, you're putting yourself in a position where you're starting to annoy me with your name change requests. You asked for the name of another registered forum member a few months ago, and we turned you down, thankfully. But what if we had agreed to delete that user to let you have that name? It would set a dangerous precedent. Would you still have wanted this user's name if we'd given it to you? If so, when would it end? Are you so insistant that you deserve the name "Sentinal" that you're above putting underscores or a number following it?
Lynk Former Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 These guys do make a point though, i mean 47,704 members and how many do you think have 0 as their post count and joined up back in 2001 and earlier?
Mex Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 Oh god no, don't make the forums even more complicated.
Wraith 8 Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 i have nothing to say about the thread... but this guy who posted above me... is just annoying me now.. he posted the exact same post 6 times in the feedback forums.. that has NOTHING to do with the thread AT ALL!..... just noting!

Mex Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 Boss, why would you need an example when there is about over 1000 people who havent posted?
Bob Gnarly Posted March 1, 2003 Author Posted March 1, 2003 i dont know, i just posted him because i have the same name at MFN forums
Mex Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 And the before excuse was. but for now i just posted "Sentinel" as an example of the many people slowing down Lucasforums." Now it's i dont know, i just posted him because i have the same name at MFN forums Yeah right.
Bob Gnarly Posted March 1, 2003 Author Posted March 1, 2003 it could be both you know its not like i contradicted myslef, by saying both of them, its my user name on MFN so i posted him as one of the many who are taking up space, so go away flanders..."Yeah Right" my...
