Inactive Users

I have a feeling that a large contributor in the overall charts is the fact that many users just join the site, put Radiohead as No.1, and then never return. There are A LOT of these users. Many have been around for up to 1000+ days, but have little to no 'member points' aside from 'size of chart' points. Something should be done about these inactive users. Here's what I propose based on what was suggested here http://www.besteveralbums.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1809&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=10: -User Charts don't contribute to overall charts until the user is Level 1 (10 points) -Users inactive for more than a year should be given a warning email, and then deleted if the user doesn't log into the site within a month or two -exceptions should be given to the above rule if the user is Level 2 (500 points) or higher, or is a premium member I feel this will make for a more accurate overall chart by getting rid of / not counting users who sign up and leave, but allowing users who forgot about the site to return. Also, one more quick suggestion/question, how much are the 'official' charts (e.g. Rolling Stone, NME, etc.) worth in relation to user charts? I think it would be a good idea to have these charts weighted slightly more, given that they were compiled professionally, sometimes by up to 50 people, and therefore should be worth more than just one random's opinion. My suggestion is that these charts have not 50x the weighting, but more like 2x-4x the weighting. There are less than 20 of these 'official' charts, but once again I think it would help shape a more accurate overall chart. Thoughts?

This is still a health discussion.

I support that charts after a x-amount of time are out of date and not relevant for the overall chart.
Maybe ten years is a bit too long for internet-standards, where everything goes a little bit faster
and one year is too short.

I'm not a fan of deleting charts though, so they should become active when an user logs back in or updates his or her chart.

Very curious what will happen with the top 100.

Agree

the charts shouldn't be deleted, they just shouldn't be taken into account for the overall chart after say 5 years of inactivity?

Otherwise we will have albums like The Suburbs in the top 10 😮

i think five years is probably about right for member lists, but I think the effect on the overall chart would probably not be as big as some people might think. (granted, something needs to be in place anyway.)

4 or 5 years would be good, but don't go deleting charts without reason.
