Author Topic: Auto-delete users who have not registered a key after a month of no logins.  (Read 2621 times)

This could really save space and free up names that other people could have used ( like Crispy >:((( )

You make an account called "BLOKLED SUKS ASS" because you're the pr0 trollr and you dont enter a key. After a month of forgetting about that user it is automatically deleted. You go "oh ill try again" so you make another account with the same name, still not registering a key but every three weeks you do a simple log in. You do this for a few more months because you're insane and want this keyless user to stay alive. Then you forget about it. After a month, it's deleted again. FFFFFFFFFFF.

Another more friendlier example is that you're interested in the game but don't have a key. You make an account anyway and log in every day while you browse the forums. Your account isn't deleted because you keep logging in. However, another person may have done the same as you but then decided "meh im not interested anymore" and simply stops using his account. Because he hasn't logged in for a month and he has no key registered, his account gets deleted.

This could be used to clean up spam users/bot users etc.

+1 as long as these users are allowed to reregister their key under a different username.

what

/support


I would just like a Name change box that you type in the name you want and you can change it, maybe it would have a 1 year cooldown.

But this sounds like it would sort of work as I expect to also.

i don't get it

I think it's

Forum users who haven't registered a key to their forum account have their account deleted?

+1 as long as these users are allowed to reregister their key under a different username.

The point is that they never registered their key in the first place.

I can't /support this hard enough

I understand better now. I thought we were referring to in-game usernames.


Oh I thought this was a request for deleting an in game client if someone went AFK lol.

Yes.  Support.

Sounds like it would be much too punishing for going inactive. Feels to me like it would be used to hijack identities etc.

Only if you didn't have your key registered

Your key doesn't detach from your forums account if you go inactive
