  • so what metric? utility?

    That's my point. You cannot reach a programmatic way of deciding who to cull with such surety that you don't accidentally delete someone who may actually be someone we all know and whom we all agree should keep their membership.

    And... why anyway? For what possible gain or advantage is there in deleting accounts that just haven't been used in a while?

    And what about users who used to post? If I deleted them now, and you found an old post and wanted to search by other things said by them, you couldn't... there would be no "user" to search.

    And what if we also deleted their posts? What if some of them were definitive and held great information? Would we want to delete it?

    The proposal to cull has no merit I can see, and lots of downsides... so really, why do it?
