Pointless members

[Mustang]

Seems to me like there are alot of members who have registered onto the UCP forums who dont intend on using them. I know that if these guys dont make 1 post after a month their features such as picture viewing are disabled but what i was woundering is, can you remove people from the members list (such as the person below who hav never posted and will probably never intend to again)

I am all up fo keeping the ones that only post one or two messages in a month or two but it is the ones that never post anything that i dont see the point of

[baddabang]

there are hundreds of these members here. It dosent bother me. but it would make ucp look better with less members that dont post so I see your point.

Some folks who've only joined to see one thing, got the answer and dont' want to come back ? Fine some way to prune would be useful.
BUT, not posting isn't a good measure as some may come to learn and feel the benefit and NOT feel the need to pat-on-the-back for good posts.
The risk is dropping the latter in trying to 'finger' the former.

well then there should be some kind of rule or guide

-if you haven't posted in 3 months( unless temporarely banned) your profile and everything gets erased
- if you have less than 10 posts in 6 months you get erased
- all "members" who already have broken this "guideline" should already be erased


it doesn't have to follow this exactly, but i do think its a good idea to stop people from coming here 1 time then never coming back, they are worthless, space taker uppers

at least these non-posting members dont bother/insult us with their stupidity, ignorance and lack of sense as many of the newer posting members do.

I honestly don't care about those members and if they don't bother Wouter then fine by me, but I just want to point out that the picture posted is from a member who the first, only and last time he logged in was the day he registered... So he doesn't even come to check for pics and info on the site.

Any club has 100% members of which only 10% are active. Nothing strange going on here, people just want to enjoy the high class messaging that has become so characteristic of these fora. Be glad that they can have that free of charge.

I think that they should be deleated, If you are gonna join, you gotta post, nothing else to it.

I personally dont mind, when I check the member list, I sort it by number of posts. That way I only have to look through 3 or 4 pages before I find what I'm looking for. So to me, its a non-issue

i agree i guess, but it as to be done in some other way, i come and browse the forums almost every day, but i don´t post that often, so "if" someone is going to make that decision and remove "useless" members, i'm just asking to be carefull and don't exclude us "little people that just like to see and read" thanks

i am not saying that we should delete people who post less often like you, i am just saying that it might be an idea to delete the people that havent posted within about 2 months of joining.

[<AAA-MOD>]

this way, maybe we'll someday outnumber the 100,000+ members on SC.

do you think they're all active? hell no.



actually, no, i don't think we want to be that big.

[cp01ae]

I dont see the point in deleting them, that would just make more work for Wouter and the other Mods. If they are inactive they aren't really bothering anyone, are they?

What he said!

[megotmea7]

who cares, are you guys so anal that you have to find the most insignificant things to complain about, their inactive, they dont take up space or bother anyone what would come of wasting the time and energy to sort them out and delete them, by wertys logic i would have been deleted when i went on a 3 month hiatus. now mabe some of you might have liked that but it is pointless
