Harrison H Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 So I was just looking through the members tab at all the members this site has. Thinking about it, all old inactive accounts should be removed (This is just a suggestion and I'm sure it has been brought up before). This would allow usernames that other people want to become available. Of course, certain criteria would need to be put into place when going through the accounts but it would help clean up the community and make it look a lot more active!! What are everyone's thoughts on this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 You can PM a mod to ask him/her if they can change an old user's name so that you can use the one you want. Deleting random old accounts seems like more trouble than what's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 You can PM a mod to ask him/her if they can change an old user's name so that you can use the one you want. Deleting random old accounts seems like more trouble than what's worth. Yeah, you can always PM us for a username that you want, but an inactive member has. It's happened in the past, both for monster accounts and really old accounts that never logged on since the MyBB days. Unless it's a spambot, members won't be deleted because there is the chance that they wish to return (it has only happened a select few times, but yeah). Even if we did delete accounts (why?), only the Supers have that capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison H Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Fair enough. Too be fair I was in that boat. I haven't been around in 2 or so years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 It's unlikely people would've wanted your name anyway (that, and you do have a good number of posts to your name). The issue would lie in a lot of those members who just register, take a name and ultimately just use the cardmaker and never post; ones with zero post count; in which a lot of them exist.

Harrison H Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Yes. I don't see why they made the account, though. You don't need one to make cards, only to save them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Probably made it because they wanted to make/save cards here, but then either said "screw this site" after a while after they found out the flaws or some other factors. We can't force members to actually post here, but yeah. Bottom-line, if you want a username that a really inactive member like this has, you can ask us to change it; not like that member would miss having their name. We just won't do it if it belongs to a veteran who's been gone for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison H Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Okay, so ex: past Moderators that have left. The ones back when I was young, active but dumb ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
