Bitcoin Forum

I've noticed there are quite a lot of old members with no activity since registration in the list. Not only have they no posts, but haven't even logged in since their registration in 2011... :-) I think these "one-time" users' accounts should be removed.
Among other, some nice usernames might be made available this way... :-)
(No, I'm not interested in any of them. :) )
[edit] Most of them are not interesting at all, I'm afraid. The main purpose of the proposed action is to clean up the list and reduce its size.

Have you touched your wallet lately?

???

Well if it's an old wallet with no activity, I think these "one-time" coins should be removed.

Agreed, the main purpose of this is to clean up the blockchain and reduce its size.

Yeah, I would love it if my "one-time" brainwallet was removed! :D

What would you think with though?   ;D

I put on my scrubs and doctor's mask.  :-*

I think theymos have done it before in past as i had a account here in 2010 i guess but i was not able to find it.

Hmm, this might have happened? I clearly remember registering a bitcointalk account a couple of years ago.

I wasn't an administrator in 2010. One of the administrators at that time might have cleaned out inactive users. I don't see much point in it.

What does it have to do with any wallets?
I've been writing in the OP about the list of users of the bitcoin forum at bitcointalk.org. Some members can be seen in the list, whose accounts haven't been touched since their registration. That is, they've never logged in since that time.

Some examples follow:

1337cookie (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=30164)
13385911211 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=33963)
13ahau (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=42543)
2013Pandora (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=76246)
2117877 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=121921)
a71006 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=27202)
acgourley (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=38419)
zzxswqq (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2439)
zzz (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1836)
zzzzzzisz (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=105667)

Do these people have any wallets that could be connected with their account on the forum in any way?

I don't have all inactive users on my mind, but just those with really no activity ever. That may be e.g. those accounts whose last activity occured in 15 minutes from the moment of registration and never later, and at least one year (half a year?) old. There are several of them on each and every page of the list. :-)
Searching the list could be a bit more comfortable, and several interesting (?) usernames could be made available I believe, although most of them looks like garbage.
Also the displayed number of members would reflect reality better.
Aha, this might be the point, maybe there's no demand for such a change? ;-)

Agreed
Look at this guy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3), he didn't login since December 2010, let's delete his account

Can you read and understand written text?
I've been proposing to remove accounts with no activity and no posts ever. Zero, zero. "Members" who've never logged in since registration. I've never proposed to remove any other account.
The very special :) account you're pointing to has both three-digit activity and three-digit post count. Answer yourself: Does that account fall into the category I've been writing about?

Well, 60% of accounts have 0 posts so it's a bit misleading if the total member account on the front page is >130k.

I've clearly stated: Accounts with no activity ever. No further login since registration.
I.e. not those with just zero posts.
I believe the former ones are really useless.

Hmmm. Yes.
Amidoinitrite?

So you want to delete accounts with 0 post and no further login since registration.
I guess you don't want to delete such an account if it was created 3 days ago though, so where would you draw the line?

Also, why does it even matter?

You seem to have some kind of cleaning fetish. I've got some dishes that need doing if you're interested.

I'd say it's because this forum may harbor a user-base with higher-than-average amount of aspie traits.
.. or am I exaggerating?

Yeah, that was my impression too, really.

If you bothered reading my post just 5 posts above yours, on the same first page of the thread as your one, you could have found answers to both of your questions there:

I.e., no three days old accounts.

Your second question, it had been answered in the same post:


I'm afraid that you really have some difficulties with reading text...
Or are you an expert in finding invalid counter-examples?
Have you answered to yourself my last question (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=242666.msg2628822#msg2628822)?

===>

I've noticed there are quite a lot of old BTCitcoins with no activity since confirmation in the block. Not only have they no nodes, but haven't even logged in since their confirmation in 2011... :-) I think these "one-time" users' addresses should be removed.
Among other, some nice usernames might be made available this way...(satoshi) :-)
(No, I'm not interested in any of them. Smiley )
[edit] Most of them are not human beings at all, I'm afraid. The main purpose of the proposed action is to clean up the blockchain and reuse: its wize.


>>SOUND FAMILIAR???WTFF!!!

Looks like I'm not the only one who have difficulties with reading text...

Whatever you think or write, this kind of accounts (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=17838;sa=showPosts) makes your proposal invalid to me.

Your link points to someone's posts.

My proposal has nothing to do with accounts with posts. It applies to accounts with no posts ever. (Already repeated several times in this thread.)

So your post is totally stupid, as your argument is beside the question.

No, doesn't sound any familiar. (And why are you SHOUTING? And bolding your whole post? Multiple question marks, multiple exclamation marks... Looks like you have some serious problem.)
Replacing the word member with a different one in my post makes no sense. It's no argument, it's just a complete nonsense.
(Or do you think that membership in the Bitcoin forum has anything to do with anyone's bitcoins?) :-))))

Yes. Looks like you're two already, who really have difficulties with reading text...

Looking for support from a 1-week junior member? :)

You must be young not to be able to step back and understand what I mean.
Also you so mad you triple-post. Please continue, that's kinda entertaining. :)

Fortunately, in fact, you know nothing about my age. :)
Well I may not understand what you mean. (Maybe try to write down what you mean then.)
Because I can uderstand quite well what you've written. And none of your posts makes an argument against my proposal. They're all beside the question.
Conclusion: As it is you who have been writing nonsens, it's also you who should step back.


I've replied to each member separately. Yes, could put it in one post with several quotations. But this way it's more easy to follow each thread.


I've been taking it seriously. Will no more reply to your posts in this thread. Won't waste energy on your entertainment.
Maybe this is what you wanted. I don't care.
And: Remaining dumb is only your problem.

Fortunately, in fact, you know nothing about what I meant by 'young'. :)


Looking at this:
I'm afraid that you really have some difficulties with writing text...

Not me:
Yes. Because each of your posts is beside the question, they are nonsense when put as arguments in the discussion.


Have you read the post? It writes please delete this account.
That really supports your opinion not to delete such accounts...
:-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

[edit] Sorry to break my rule not to reply to you any more.
[edit2] I'm afraid it's really pointless to reply to a 10-per-day poster. I should have noticed earlier it's a troll.

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist

Personally I think it's a sockpuppet of him.

/me asks what on earth is going on in here?

There's a troll, which generated activity, supposed sockpuppets, exaggerated emoji: ":-)))))[snip]" (??), somebody bolding their whole post, SHOUTING and again, too many repeat characters: "!!!!!!!!" and "??????", the list goes on..

On topic:
Email the users' email, notifying them of deletion.
If they respond "no", or don't respond, delete them.
Only delete, as mentioned before, year-old users with no activity since registration.

Translation:
You're definitely a butthurt young guy

I only trolled your thread because you had a shitty idea and couldn't listen any argument against it.
Now point me to another thread I trolled (except altcoins thread which are troll thread per se). Hard to find, right?

Also
This is actually something worth discussing about

The latter is your "translation". I've never written exactly that. [edit]So, please, be so kind and don't put it as a quote from me. Thank you.[/edit]
And I don't think it's equal to the former.
You're a ten-per-day poster. And you're a troll. (At least here, you are.)
I can see no conclusion that a ten-per-day poster is a troll there, though.


You had no argument against my idea. None of your posts referred to my idea. All of them referred to something that might resemble my idea just in your fantasy, but non really refered to my proposal.
My proposal contained several conditions, that had to be met together. Each of your arguments had left out at least one of them. I had to repeat them to you again and again, to show that your arguments had been invalid.

(Emphasis mine.)

Yes, that's the core of my original idea you've been fighting against so hard.
So my shitty idea is worth discussing about... :-)
And yes, it's a good idea to send them an e-mail first. (Unfortunately, not yours.)

If ten-per-day isn't equal to begin a troll, then why do you even say that it's " pointless to reply to a 10-per-day poster. "?

I didn't write that I had an argument against it. I wrote any argument, from me or not.
I'm afraid that you really have some difficulties with reading text...

Look at the new posts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=248713.msg2651391#new
;D

It would be SO funny if the last post was actually written by someone else who logged in using that account.

Oh gosh.
OFF TOPIC OFF TOPIC OFF TOPIC! Stop the trolling! This is "Userbase cleanup" not "Trolling Discussion"!

On topic:
Also put a notice in big letters on bitcointalk.org if an account is due for deletion.
