Deleting Inactive Members Un-Published Story Games

9 years ago

I was thinking that if a member is inactive for a extended period of time, their un-published story game(s) should be deleted. I was thinking that if they are inactive for about 6 months to a year, all un-published story games they have, should be deleted. This way it opens up titles for members that are active. I don't know if this would be hard, or easy to accomplish.

Deleting Inactive Members Un-Published Story Games

At first I was like, what? Then I realized you meant there are story titles that can't be used because someone else already has a story by that name.  

Setting aside the question of whether that's really worth our time, it's technically impossible.  

I can't access an account without knowing the username.  And there is no master list of all members. 

Going back to the question of whether it's worthwhile: I would have to log in to each individual account one at a time and delete the stories one by one. Also, the site's been around for ten years.  That's a lot of inactive users. 

Or, you could use your creative skills, and come up with a different title.  Xd

(I know it's annoying. )
