Verifying membership status / deletion of inactivated accounts

    Just an fyi...All new members who have not replied to their welcome thread are in process of being deleted.

    Our welcome thread states the following:

    "Note: In order to minimize spam registrations, all new registrants must respond here in this thread to this welcome message within 72 hours of its posting, or their account is subject to deletion. Please introduce yourself -- tell us what prompted your interest in Epicureanism, a little about yourself, and/or post a question."

    We've been giving a bit of a grace period...So following up on this now.

    Thank you for taking care of this. We have no desire to delete anyone who wishes to participate or just read along silently, and any account that gets deleted can ask for reinstatement which will gladly be given. What we want to do by housecleaning the account list is to protect the experience of regular members by making sure that the forum doesn't get compromised by spam or other types of malicious actors.
