Delete inactive account?

Also "tijhuis" is a surname, I don't think it is fair to ban members because they have foreign sounding names.

Agreed, but we should ban them for being fucking stupid.

It's a vote winner. I might make that into a slogan for my campaign in the upcoming mod-elections.

It's not a name, it's gibberish, just like 'bopqwe' or the others. And why don't you quit with your idiotic, obsessive flaming. It's getting quite creepy.

I think the the others said all there was to say.

You are an idiot tho', nevertheless. All I've done is call you on it when you were being particularily dense.

And btw:

Ajmal Sheikh - just fucking google the words
M Boy Luca - Oh noez, names and shit
Cert(ified?) Comp(etent?)
Tijhuis - surname
Tres08 - 308
Quontis - a name, a domain, and I dunno' what else.

Skizo makes less sense, seeing as how it isn't even spelled right.

Do you really think this thread was a good idea?

There's nothing wrong with the idea of this thread. It's a question "Related to the Board".

All the name calling and personal attacks don't belong here.

Only accounts that are really inactive (0 posts) ever get deleted, regardless of username.

**Barbarossa** · 11-07-2006, 05:17 PM

There are 109580 users with zero posts.

85175 of those joined before 01/01/2006.

EDIT: Not all of them are JPaul's lurking sock-puppets.

So there's nothing wrong in saying that accounts need to be deleted on the basis that the selection of usernames available to people now is reduced to gibberish even tho' the names he's assuming to be examples of this aren't actually gibberish?

The whole argument is rendered invalid by the fact that the problem with gibberish-usernames doesn't exist. And furthermore, how does it help the board to have someone claim that the new people who join have crap names?

Wonderful way of welcoming them, btw.

EDit: and inactive people who don't post are already being deleted.

There is no problem.

And, oh yeah, do you know how many words are in the english lexicon? We are hardly running out of possible combinations.

EDit II: Had he merely stopped at asking, or suggesting (even tho' I'da' thunk everybody knew about how things work already), there'd been no problem, it's the stupid bit...
