deactivate inactive/unused accounts?
Account deleted




i have two students, but neither of them have touched their accounts since they've signed up, and it's honestly just disheartening to see the two empty accounts in my messages (even after deleting the messages, they're in my 'sent' tab).

along with that, when i first went to sign up, i wanted the username 'miami'. i checked today to see who has it, and they haven't signed on in literal years.

i think that if a player isn't 1. active within the first month of making the account, or 2. are active during that first month but then go inactive for a year, that their account should be some sort of deactivated.

obviously the users should be sent a warning email before the deactivation happens, and their accounts shouldn't be totally deleted. instead, their usernames should be changed (maybe to user(insert number here) or some random number hash?), so that way a dead account isn't hogging another user's potential username.

i think the idea of their u/n being changed to [user][number] is a good idea actually, especially if they get the option to pick a new name for free if they log on again

I agree 99%, but with this account I did make it in April of 2015, and only started to use it a few months ago.

the account still wouldn't have been deleted, just deactivated

and as mentioned above, returning would mean getting a free username change

they'd also have to change the way we log in, then
b/c if I had gotten deactivated with DevilsAdvocate, then I wouldn't know what to log in with.
Maybe email address? since I think they already only allow one account per email

yeah, but then you'd have to deal with the user being upset if they suddenly come back and find their account gone

like i said before, you'd get a warning email before they deactivate your account

that way, you have time to go in and put your account on vacation mode if you do want to save your account
