How to handle non posting members? - 04/25/2001 5:19 AM
I was wondering how others out there handle their non posting members? What I don't want is an inflated number like on some sites where it doesn't reflect the user base because some no longer post. Therefore, I sent an email to those that haven't posted in 90 days or visited our site.
Well, I got 9 emails from some that said they hated "having to post" in a time period and "there was nothing to reply to". All I can say is if you haven't visited a web site in 3 months or posted in that time, then you don't really care and just want to complain. Some users in fact have "0" posts since even signing up as a member and are complained.
How can a community or site be built if the members don't post? I wanted to terminate the accounts of my non visitors and posters because they were basically worthless anyway. Just wondering how others out there do the same thing and if you ever get user complaints from your non-posters that just take up space?
Thanks for any suggestions.
