Just an idea to help clear out all the alts and namesnipes. This is my idea:
When an account is created, the user of the account must be active or at least go online every day for the following 3 consecutive days. If the account is not counted as online for all three of these days, the account is flagged as an alternate.
Here comes the important part: When an account is flagged as alternate, it is put up for 'redaction', meaning that the account still exists, but if a new player attempts to create an account with the same name, the flagged account will be terminated and the new one will take its place. Redacted accounts cannot be appealed. The original creator of the account can take it out of redaction by clicking a button and sending a confirmation email. When the link in the email is clicked, the account can no longer be under redaction and will be counted as a normal account.
Complicated, yes. Hopefully good, hopefully. |

I can just make an alt, log in, log out of it for the next three days, and never touch it again.
So really, this doesn't do a whole lot.

| If you were new to roblox, why would you make an account just before going on vacation? |

People get busy packing. Maybe they finally just got a free moment?

| Plus, the account is only deleted if someone else comes by to take the name. And with the millions of names available, whats the chance? |

| ROBLOX will NEVER delete accounts just for people to take a new username. |

| Alternate accounts usually just collect dust. Recycling the account will at least put those bits to use. |

Roblox has been around since 2006. Names are becoming more and more scarce. How is it fair that you lose your account because someone else wanted the name?

| Because everyone has the time to login to ROBLOX everyday after they make an account. |

If you weren't blind, the mods and admins state tons of times they will not delete an account just because someone wants one of those early namesnipe usernames or whatever.
I believe there was even a sticky about it for some time. |

| If they don't have time for the account, why make the account? |

What if my internet goes out? What if I get called in by my dad to help him at work? What if my harddrive crashes?

Well, think about it.
Let's say A's friend at school, B, told A to make an account on ROBLOX. So he does. It's a real nice username, and it's luckily not taken, but out there, C wants it. Over the next 3 days, A has lots of schoolwork and cannot login to ROBLOX. C registers for the account. A's account is deleted. A comes back on the 4th day with no schoolwork to find out his account has been deleted. In other words, unfair. |

Put it in the T&C that nobody reads. It'll be A's fault for not reading it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |

1. Yes. There's this thing called a blackout. 2. Jobs are a big work. Maybe you don't know that. 3. Pretty damn likely.

I'll still tell you again. ROBLOX have not and will never add this.
It won't work, and it's unfair. |

Didn't the staff already say they won't delete an account just because you want the name?
