Posts: 1The membership plan is a good idea and well thought out. I personally believe you have attempted to take the opportunity to allow everyone involved, even those who haven't been active, a chance to voice their opinions. This is just the latest great addition to an already outstanding site.

Posts: 14I also agree that the user list should be pared down. Though I must admit that I do not post often myself (I am the shy guy poking a toe in the water, dreading jumping into the pool), but now feel more confident to add my opinions (and hopefully soon experiences).

Posts: 1Membership cleanup! Sounds like a good way ta go...
Goin a bit further, may I suggest a way of deterin 'one hit wonders".
I realize in a first post, we git alotta, "can you guys help me git started? , 'Can ya e-mail me phone #, locations?", den we never get any feed back. I'm pretty sure most of da new posters have some past or present experiences dat brought dem to this forum. Perhaps REQUIREING dem, inna first post, ta share information is a way of gittin more participation.
Just a thought.

Posts: 1Yep I agree about all the membership cleanup
I love this board and contribute whenever I find something good or bad this board has been a godsend
Also how do you get regular member status?

Posts: 92I have no problem with you deleting the non-posters, or at least those who are inactive for a year or six months. If they're not posting, but using the Web site it's probably in a read-only mode. You don't have to be a member to read the posts, so if they aren't posting I don't think it would be a problem to prune their names from the list.

Posts: 72Jackson, You do a GREAT job, and one that is deeply appreciated. The question of perpetual lurkers and non-participants is simple: this is a cooperative service, we each learn from the experiences of others, but, if someone doesn't contribute what, if anything, is the benefit to the rest of us?
I've learned a lot from others, and, I'm glad to say that I know that I have been helpful to our fellow mongers. I consider my contrubutions as paying my way, and as the ladies say, "Honey, if you don't pay, you ain't gonna play!"
Keep up the good work!

Posts: 184Jackson,
Your proposal seems quite reasonable and fair.
Compared with other review sites, your policy is actually very
user-friendly. Those who are taking advantage of it without
participating have no reason to complain. Of course, that
will not stop them from doing so.
Oh well.

Posts: 80Jackson,
Your plans seem very reasonable to me. I would even suggest to pop out all members who do not post for a year - most of them probably forgot their password and registered again with a different user name. For the others: It is no problem to re-register.
Excellent forum!

Posts: 13Jackson,
As some of us here in Jersey say:
"Some will, some won't, so what"
If they don't like the guidelines set forth then they can go elsewhere. I, for one, feel that 70% of the posts are done by 30% of the members. Those members who will be marked for deletion just take up much needed space (both hard drive and B/W). Keep up the great work!!
Rock on, rock hard,
