Ok, so we all know there are a bunch of inactive groups out there. The 3 member requirement is one way to combat this, but I personally think it's ineffective. I simply want to propose two changes to groups, and see who agrees:
* Reduce the deletion warning from 60 days to 30 days. A month is plenty, and if it takes someone that long to get 3 members, their group obviously isn't going anywhere.
* As well as requiring 3 members in order to exist, I think it would be beneficial to detect whether anyone has accessed, or posted in, a group's forum. I'm thinking, if nobody has done either in the past week/fortnight, the group gets deleted.
In my opinion, this would help clean up the place and get rid of "those" groups. Also, I reckon it would encourage people to take care of their group by posting in it, inviting people to it etc, and improve the quality of the many chapters here on b.net.
Tell me what you think.
