(this isnt for roblox, this is for the people who constantly suggest removing inactive accounts)

people who are hungry for namesnipes seem to think that removing inactive accounts is a good idea, however there are 2 reasons why it is not.

1. theres this thing called "life". what if someone leaves roblox and comes back after a year or so? how do you think that person will react when their account is gone?

2. there are many inactive accounts with popular classic places on them. removing the accounts with those places on them will not only upset the creator who made them, but it will also upset the people trying to play them.

also, ROBLOX (the account) is an inactive account. i can only imagine how awful it'll be when ROBLOX is deleted.

Number of times opinion has changed: A lot.

"Erik.Cassel"

another reason why deleting inactive accounts would be a bad idea
you could get banned for dying in real life

Full support.
I've been inactive for periods of time and I've had this account for 6 years. I always find my way back to Roblox and would be highly upset if my account was banned for being inactive.

Suggestion

If that robloxian is gone for 6 months, a letter regarding the removal of its account will be sent via email.

The account will remove once the 24 hour countdown ended.

If the user didn't login for that period of time.

-Obviously; the main reason would be for new players to get a namesnipe. Although the large portion of people who makes suggestions to delete old accounts are looking for a namesnipe, there's a small number who isn't, who simply wants the newer players to benefit.

1. My personal suggestion said 3+ years; if there's a player from 2008 that's been inactive up to this point, and they actually remember they had a Roblox account, here's a few problems:

-They mostly likely forgot their account login info

-Even if they DO remember their info, they clearly didn't care enough about their account to log back in sooner, so, in my opinion, they don't deserve it.


2. There are VERY little older players who actually have things like this. You're all stuck in nostalgia.


3. One of my suggestions was to keep popular/well know Roblox players, as well as admins/mods/etc. They obviously won't delete the ROBLOX account.

They WON'T delete accounts. Mods have said so. I just disagree with them.

mate even though you're right that roblox is never going to do this
your reasons for why you think they should are absolute bollocks

"3+ years; if there's a player from 2008"

3 years
2008
choose one

2008 does match up with 3+ years but even though using 2008 accounts as an example would seemingly make more sense, what you're advocating would be that 2013 accounts qualify for deletion too

three years ago was 2013, for roblox that's somewhat recent
if any website really did go through with the idea of 3+ years without signing in results in being deleted, any backup accounts would be deleted

"3. One of my suggestions was to keep popular/well know Roblox players, as well as admins/mods/etc. They obviously won't delete the ROBLOX account."

so your logic is that whether or not you'll be allowed to stay should be based on how well known you are

websites aren't exactly allowed to make these kinds of exceptions for having a certain level of "being popular"
if you delete some content for meeting some criteria you have an obligation to continue removing any content that meets that criteria

whether or not you're "popular" is subjective and cannot be proven

"they clearly didn't care enough about their account to log back in sooner, so, in my opinion, they don't deserve it."

so if they made an account and forgot how to log in or simply didn't care to log in then they're deemed 'unworthy' of their accounts that people only want because other people think their usernames look cool
that could easily be applied to an opposing view of how people complaining about all 'good' usernames or 'namesnipes' being taken aren't worthy of having those usernames for not joining sooner
even if they didn't know about roblox back then to join sooner, or simply didn't care to, that's the same reasoning as the viewpoint that people who did join sooner shouldn't be allowed to have their accounts if they didn't care to sign back in or forgot how to sign in to their accounts

"There are VERY little older players who actually have things like this. You're all stuck in nostalgia."

"very little" so you are making an assumption instead of giving any numbers to support it?
"who actually have things like this" what 'things?' usernames?
"you're all stuck in nostalgia" that's not even an argument, that's just an unsupported fallacy. how is it being nostalgic to think it would be bad to not just delete accounts but completely wipe them from the database and put their usernames back into circulation solely for inactivity?

you are right that this will never happen. if anything that's a good thing

"3+"
"+"

No; I'd prefer all players be deleted. (Not including moderators) But, like I said, people are stuck in nostalgia. Roblox would decide what happens to these players.

I'm not going to count every popular player on Roblox, because, like you said, "whether or not you're "popular" is subjective and cannot be proven." By popular, however, I personally would say a known developer.

Anything. Multiple people give examples like models and places (which you mentioned.)

Disagreeing with this subject doesn't make you stuck in nostalgia if you're thinking about it the correct way. You've named multiple great points outside of "What if ____'s account was deleted?" The "nostalgic" side are the ones that name certain users off who barely had any actual impact at all on anything, and deleting their account would do very little.

On the note that players could simply go inactive again; yes, this is 100% true. I would say the chances are lowered for a couple reasons:
-ROBLOX has a much larger community
-ROBLOX (arguably) is now more "attractive", and will keep people interested longer.

That's your opinion and I respect it. Here was my personal suggestion on this that developed a bit in the replies, I suggest scanning through them if you're gonna read this at all:

ROBLOX would be the one to terminate the accounts through automation, why would the program delete itself?

I like how the people who suggest that accounts should get deleted joined 1/2 years ago. It's their fault they did not start playing before then.

@Darkno57

The main reason for this is for new players to receive better usernames when they join, yes. I'm sure if you could get a really good one (along with 1k Robux of course) you would grab it, seeing as you have numbers in your username.

@King

Nobody is suggesting a week, if this idea was about deleting accounts after a single week of inactivity then I wouldn't be supporting it.

@AWisp

Not everyone who's suggesting this joined recently. I'll admit a large chunk of the people who are supporting the account deletion are wanted namesnipes >themselves<, but there's a small portion (including me) who wants the newer players to grab better usernames. I got a really stupid Roblox-recommended one for my first account, and I'm sure many new players are doing the same and will regret it in the future.

I dont think you understand how deleting inactive accounts would work
accounts will be deleted if accounts

haven't been verified, haven't bought bc or robux
and haven't logged onto roblox for about 2 years

This is not a suggestion, so I wont support. It wont happen, and deleting inactive accounts has never actually happened before, and the suggestion for that hasnt been made real.
