Deleting Friends

What reasons do you delete friends on MFP? I like to keep a small group so I can easily support, motivate and get to know people. Here are some reasons why I have deleted:
1. Not logging in consistently. Long gaps in activity.
2. No communication. I don't expect daily; but some is necessary.
3. Bashing on other people. I can take it if you bash on me; but don't knock other people (I'm protective like that).
I think that's about it. This was prompted because I deleted someone and she asked me why. She had constant gaps in her log ins. She would frequently go weeks at a time w/o activity.

Just one reason: over 1 month of no activity. I go through my list about once a week.

Usually because we never interact. I like to keep my FL kind of low.0
-
I haven't deleted anyone yet. I suppose I should go through my friends list. I do have to admit, I suck at commenting. But I'm on here daily.0
-
If they annoy me.
If they never talk to me.
If they never post a new status.
If they haven't logged in in awhile.
If we have nothing in common.
That about covers it.0 -
i had a total freak out last week, after a bunch of drama (partially self-inflicted), and i cut nearly 100 people. I've worked through it, and hope i've learned enough from it that i don't go through that again!
other wise, just the usual reasons - lack of activity or interaction is probably the most common for me.0 -
1. Long absences from the site.
2. Way too many posts or obnoxious/needless postings...nothing in particular, just if they come to annoy me or I get tired of seeing them on my feed saying the most inane, inconsequential *kitten*. Especially if they're not funny. I need to be entertained.
3. Rudeness to other members, whether they're my friends or not. I don't need negative or abusive people on my list.
4. Lack of interaction.0 -

The same reaons you do. I posted a status about it last night and said I would give it 2 days to see if anyone wanted to start giving me the motivation I give them. So tomorrow is the day I will be deleting!0

^ If i didn't log on regularly I wouldn't be shocked if people deleted me. This isn't FB... we are here to support and motivate one anotherI'm thinking of deleting a couple people but I'm really concerned about one of them so I may give her more time...
And I just realized either someone deleted me or they left MFP... If she deleted me it may be because she didn't like my enthusiasm0 -
when they tell me theyre knocked up with my child0
-
if they don't tell me I'm a pretty little snowflake within an hour of being added to my FL they get whacked.0
-
People who never log in get deleted...
People who make statuses every 5 minutes get deleted...
Oh, and creepers get deleted often.0 -
If you haven't logged in in over a month.. You're gone.0

alot of people are afraid to say if they 'annoy you' I totally agree, I have deleted people who have irratated me, constantly contradicting their previous statements and attention seeking. I may sound bitter, I try to encourage people, but when it is blatently obvious they just want a reaction I wil delete, as I like nothing but possitivity in my life, no negative nancys please lol0 -
If someone posts something seriously offensive (rarely happens, but has) or if someone hasn't logged in forever and I have absolutely no memory of ever having had a conversation with the person, so I don't even know how he or she ended up on my FL in the first place.0
-
1. I have a one month rule too...If you haven't logged your gone;
2. People with eating disorders;
3. Lack of support reciprocation;
4. Meatheads; and
5. Creepers.0 -
I have deleted some for being stupid, saying ignorant things that are completly uncalled for, not logging in in a while, people who are just friends with me to add to their list (cause i guess its a contest). I like to have people who comment or will drop on my profile and say hey... I like really active and supportive people, and I have a bunch on mine that are not.. thinking its time for a clean out! :drinker:0
-
Naked pictures. If you haven't sent me any revealing pictures...I'm calling my mafia men to get you0
-
Cause I can.
I had one that sent me 19 messages asking why I deleted her...0
