Hey, if this was already posted, then I apologize and I did search threads to see if it was and found none so I'm just going to throw it out there...
(if this post is incorrect in any way please lockzor it)
...anyway, my suggestion.
I wanted to make a username without numbers (no offense to people with numbers, it's just a matter of opinion), unfortunately, I found that most of the cool names I wanted were already taken. I thought "Hey, this name is cool I wonder if it has good stats..."
*looks up stats: 0, 0, 0, 0...*
I notice MANY names are taking space on this game, and are unused! Of course, deleting these names could mean a lot, such as if they posted on forums, or maybe didn't have much time to play after making the name and having to wait. Of course you can't just kick off new people for not having time on their hands!
So, of course, feel free to trash my suggestion, whether it be dumb or a waste of time putting into effect, but my suggestion is...
Any username that has no rankings or post (all 0's) for 1 week (may differ) should be erased from the server.
Some questions that may be asked...
Q: Well it's a good idea (matter of opinion) but what about people that don't user forums, but do play games on CUSTOM maps? (this meaning they will have no ranked stats or posts)
A: Well, I'm not smart enough to think of a half-minded reply to this. I suppose I'll think of a 1/3 minded reply. No active log-ins for a week (may differ), along with the zero in all stats?
Q: It's a dumb idea, why erase names?
A: Thanks for your opinion. I think space is made for each name and they become unavailable each time one is made. Maybe less names would be open to more uniquely named players and space in the vast database of this game?
Q: How long did it take you to come up with this idea?
A: I was eating supper.
