I've noticed that all of the 0 AP ghost accounts are ranked #88,270. So, if there is a way to delete a designated amount of accounts, then Dan or another admin could delete a few thousand accounts below that mark a day, and the ghost accounts would be nixed slowly but surely. Any thoughts?

[url=http://armorgames.com/user/childatheart] This is a person that doesn't have to be in the forums but yet has fun anyway.(I truely don't know if they have fun but they rate games and comment on games.)

what does that have to do with?
that's not a ghost account
that's still participating in the community (replying and rating games)

Did I say that is a ghost account? This is a example of someone not particapating in the community! And people in here want to get rid of those accounts!

that is participating because replying to games and telling them what they rated them sparks interest in other users to comment on their profile thus starting a conversation

here's a couple examples of what i said

like fr2

person 1: &quotosts map"
person 2 thinks: "wow that was amazing!"
person 2 goes on person 1's profile to tell them

other games
person 1: "i hated this game all the things about it are horrible! 0/10!!!"
person 2 thinks: "wtf? i love this game!"
person 2 goes on person 1's profile and asks "why?"

Ghost accounts are negative for AG. This solution will get rid of all of them in less than 10 minutes. Is that really a bad thing!?

I agree with thisisnotanalt that ghost accounts are a negative problem for Armor Games. It would be nice though to have less ghosts around, they don't contribute at all except make more work for the moderators.

Wrong. The ghosts are not the problem, the people posting on the ghost accounts are.
And it is rather hard tp determine weither a account is a ghost or not, yeknow.

Cenere... Why did you revive this?


I think they should delete all accounts that have no AP + has been here for 6 months. Those are probably ghost accounts.

Oh fluff. I looked at the date, and thought it was today... My bad. The front page seems to be confusing me.
Sorry for zombieing it...
