Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters Hi,@Turtlepower: I might have misinterpreted SLJ's post.I thought he suggested deleting all accounts that didn't log in to their account for 6 months, which, as I said in my last post, is problematic. URL: https

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters Aren't we talking about only deleting accounts which have zero posts, though? I fail to see how a developer's account, of all things, would go inactive, since presumably they would have posted about a project they had

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters Hi,I would delete all 0 post accounts which are older than 6 months.However, I'll have to disagree with SLJ about deleting all accounts that haven't been active for six months, because for example some develepoers might

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters Agreed with deleting inactive accounts that have 0 posts. In order to get unrestricted you must have made at least one post in the intro topic, so if an account has 0 posts for 6 months they are probably not going

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters Hi.I'll say just delete them, if they have not been active for 6 months. By saying "active," I mean if they have not visited their account for 6 months, not if they have not posted for 6 months.Reason: Some mem

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters @#15 that's indeed a good point. Since most of these spambots spammed a long time ago, it's unlikely that they'll return even if their IP is no longer banned. And if they do, the new restrictions in place should prevent

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters There are over 100,000 accounts in the database. I’m pretty sure 90% of those are spambots. They are merely taking up space, they should go. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/419845/#p419845 -- Audiogames

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters What exactly would banning those accounts accomplish? They're not posting anyway, and if you ban them, they'll still be in the database as unusable names. So you won't cut down on spam and you won't save space

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters Exactly, agreed with Dark. I also created an account many years ago, absolutely forgot the name and the password, and nearly everything, so if they banned my ip, they would probably ban this account as well, together

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters Nah, I see the logic, but say someone gets an account mainly to give karma, that or they mean to post but just don't get around to it. That is why we have restricted accounts at first. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters I'm with deleting those accounts. Banning them will do nothing since they would stay in the list. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/419479/#p419479 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters I'm also for clearing out the unused accounts, but I'm not sure how banning them helps anything.It seems much better to delete them.Banning them would leave all the unused accounts around, continueing to clutter the user

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters

Re: potentially contravirtial: should we purge the forum of 0posters I'm all in favour of trimming the detritus. Slash and burn away. If they were real forum members, they'd probably have at least 1 post already, since (in general) people usually only sign up because they want to chime
