Inactive Accounts Clean-up Project : A place to keep track of which accounts we are mooching from, to post links to inactive accounts.

re: Portuguese Inactive Moochers

Okay, vacationed all but one of those I had mooched from. I'll check some others from the list.

re: Japanese Inactive Accounts

Jajemi has no inventory so they should probably be taken off the list.

re: Portuguese Inactive Moochers

I think maybe I will remove the 1 book only members, unless they have a history of ignoring previous mooches. I've also updated the list with some information about pending mooches and mooch history.

re: Countries in need of Moochers

T, I see your point, especially concerning some of the people we both know who are in the list as inactives, and I do agree. I did make the list of all inactives, including those with only 1 book, but I noted that a lot of these have mostly hand-entered portuguese language books, which I'm not sure are really that problematic in terms of inactive inventory because there's not a lot of search for those (and I'm not sure you get notifications on hand-entered books).

I think the suggestion about only trying to vacation accounts from those with more than one books and/or a history of ignoring mooches is a good idea, at least so far as it concerns countries where the inventories contain a lot of non-english books whose ISBNs aren't on the amazon database and so are probably hand-entered.

I did mooch from a few of the portuguese inactive accounts because they had one book I would like to read (but wouldn't have mooched for 2-3 points internationally) and got two nice replies from a couple of moochers. I don't know, for every person you may have to vacation, finding someone who comes back to bookmooch would be a nice end result.

That's good advice, Robin. I'll probably watch who I mooch from and let you guys know of all the others I find.

re: Countries in need of Moochers

Whoa, there are a lot of inactive moochers in Portugal (>100 days). So far I've mooched from 8 but I left more than double of that unmooched so far and I'm still halfway! I did get an e-mail reply from one of the inactive moochers willing to send the book I asked for.

re: Countries in need of Moochers

I could check out some of the Portuguese moochers. I don't think anyone has volunteered for Portugal yet, right?

I do have to be careful of my mooch ratio though.
