Group Founders: Do you kick inactive group members?
I have been debating starting a private group on my own. Then it occurred to me, if you already run your own group, do you kick inactive members? Like those that join but don't ever contribute?
Y/N.
Thanks for any info.

No I don't kick them for being inactive.

Well OP, you shouldn't kick inactive members. They may be busy with something else or maybe even just taking a break. You never know when members will come back to post. Also, if you're going to create a group try to think of a cool theme that will attract people. When you do create your group and you wish to advertise it, remember to post it [url=http://www.bungie.net/forums/topics.aspx?forumID=9]here[/url].
-
That's up to you. Imo, I see no reason to kick them.
-
I wouldn't kick inactive people. As the above said, you never know when that person might come back. He's not hurting anyone sitting there.

I know quite a few members here attend college and that is time-consuming. Some people also lurk in groups until they feel they are ready to post. There isn't really a need to kick inactive members. But, it is your group. If you feel that you should kick them, then do it.

No. At this point, that'd be more than 500 people I'd have to kick, which takes too much time. I am also sure that there are many users who do not appear to be active, but actually do lurk the forums frequently. There is no reason for [i]me[/i] to kick any inactive member, but that's just because of the function of my group. If your concern is exclusivity or prestige, then kicking inactives makes more sense.
-
The idea that a group should worship activity above all else seems rather quaint...

You won't be able to keep track of their activity
-
That would involve kicking 124 people from my group with 2 active members, so no.
-
No It's nice to see members that have not been around for a long time pop in and say hello every now and then. I have 1200+ in the group I run but I am lucky to get 10 posts from everyone in a week at this point in time.
-
Not unless I'm bored.
-
I'm still in a group that I created over 4 years ago, and I still to this day keep all the inactive members (which is within the 10-20 range because there's only a total of around 25 members). That group will forever live, no matter how dead we are!
-
Way too much trouble + no gain from doing it.
-
It depends on how many people are in the group. I try to not kick people if there would be less than 100 members when I was done. Sometimes member count helps get new people in because the group appears to be a bit more active. Generslly I send a pm to people and give them a few weeks to respond before taking any actoin like kicking them.
-
I don't have a group, but I see it as a bad idea to remove them from the group.
-
I'm far too lazy to invest that much time, however, there have been a few groups I've been a part of that easily had over a thousand members that we NEVER saw, and that's sorta bugged me. [Edited on 12.31.2012 12:46 AM PST]

Of course not. I have a group with 350 members, and probably about 300 of them inactive.
-
No, they may be readers.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] dazarobbo No, they may be readers.[/quote] This is exactly why I message them first and wait to see if they reply before doing anything.
-
I never did, I mean hey at least they were increasing my big bad member count...

No. Thats just mean.
