If I am a user of your server and I log in to my acount and find that suddenly my roster is missing someone, I suspect I will just be angry that your service "lost" my information and not wonder if you deleted them. As a general rule of thumb, don't mess with user data without their permission (even if that data is now invalid); it will just lead to confusion. > It seems to me that this behavior is invalid.

Maybe they use their roster as an address book, or they just have a lot of history in their client and they want to keep that roster entry so that it shows up in their client and they can still get to their history (even if they won't be chatting anymore). > In addition, I see no way for the affected users to remove this stale entry > from their roster without manually doing a disco for each roster entry. I didn't understand this one; they can remove it exactly like they remove any other roster entry. Do you mean that they won't know that it's stale? That might be true, and it would be up to the client to discover that the roster entry is no longer valid and show the user in some way (but that's a client concern, not a server concern, I think). —Sam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "prosody-dev" group.
