Deleting dormant accounts

LJN is the busiest landscaping and horticulture site of its kind anywhere in the UK.

An awful lot of time goes into maintaining LJN and keeping it at the top of the search engine rankings to benefit its members. The site is free to use, the benefits are far reaching.

There are many members who have joined and never contributed to the site. There are many more members who give a lot of their time and experience helping others. I want to support the latter.

Over 400 dormant member accounts have been removed to date and I'm again in the process of sweeping through and deleting dormant accounts.

My view is, why should non-active members benefit from the site's strong SEO and business benefits if they are not prepared to give something back?

I will of course take a view but you need to participate to benefit.

    How long does an account need to be dormant before it is removed?

    How do you classify dormant? Number of logins or posts?

    Nick.

    Don't worry Nick...I know who might be dormant now but who have made a significant contribution in the past. I will not remove anyone if they've given something to the site in the past.

    It's an ongoing process. 

  • I'm still here- please don't delete me!

  • On the forum I administer we regularly "sweep" for dormant users. I delete the accounts of everyone who's not logged-on for more than two years, but don't delete their posts. We have thousands of people who never post, or incredibly rarely post, but who log in regularly purely to read the forums, and they don't get deleted.

    You just need to avoid losing members who lurk on the forums, and are possibly learning masses of info they can later pass back to others. Often people don't get involved in discussions because they assume they know less that the prolific posters, which is a real shame.

    Hi Paul

    I take a similar view. 

    LJN is a valuable yet free resource but I have no desire to support anyone who doesn't wish to support LJN.

How Do You Qualify A Sales Lead?


I don't know about you, but our phones and emails are starting to get busy with enquiries. I've learned over the years that it's all too easy to answer the phone, arrange a consultation and then spend a couple of hours with a prospective client…
