re: re: A dangerous idea

*nod* Inactive members is a constant controversy, much like wishlist emails.

Now the forums are another topic. Any suggestions on how to improve the forums? :)

re: re: A dangerous idea

Inventory in inactive accounts isn't important when they can be put on vacation by cancelling a mooch after 7 days. Now, marking when wishlisters are inactive, that would be useful.

Some of us like the looks and simple design of this site. If you want shiny and graphic-heavy, go elsewhere *shrug*.

Ask first on pending would be much more useful, as that directly affects what mooches go through.

re: re: A dangerous idea

I never can understand members who have problems finding things to mooch. I have problems _not_ finding things to mooch. :)

Now postage and space for books, those are universal problems.

re: A dangerous idea

I don't think this is a bad idea, but I'm going to spend "membership" money on intl postage instead.

re: Not much junk on BM

Scarface123, why would you not try to mooch a book from them?

Just this week, I asked someone to Angel a book for me from someone in another country. That person hadn't been on for 500 days, but logged in and accepted the mooch.

I also cancelled 2 mooches that hadn't been accepted in a month from 2 members.

re: Not much junk on BM

What about having a list of books that have available for 2+ years? Like recently added, but the reverse?

Or elimininating the listing .1 point for books over a certain threshold (10-20+ copies)?

Please don't auto-vacation inactive members. I have gotten books from "inactive" members, and am fine with cancelling after a week to vacation those that are truly inactive.
