    So people delete because a) someone doesn't talk enough and b) someone talks too much :confused:

    I've been deleted, one person talked about their personal life and it was obvious they had a story going, and I was added in the middle, so it's hard to comment when you don't know what they are going thru. I never saw when they worked out and I don't comment on food diaries ("yay you ate under your goal! keep it up!" uh yeah, sure)

    the others I don't know, but I really don't care.

    Everybody that requested to be my friend, and then deleted me that makes me :laugh:

    I've never deleted, but grounds for deletion by me are: too many religious/political posts and being downright cruel to others.

    I delete ppl when they don't support me. If ur gonna b on my list, u best talk to me or ur takin up space, because I do my best to comment on EVERY diary/loss/exercise & so statuses if I have something to say on it, so I expect the same kind of support.

    Fr33zefram3 - I delete when someone is not reciprocating support. Usually if they haven't logged in while, then I let them stay only because they are not taking up my feed. My issue is when I constantly try to support and get not a dang thing in return. Then it's like. I friend anyone willing to have a 2-way street. There are times a person goes inactive cause of life... I get that... happens to me too. But when I encourage daily for a month and don't even get a good morning? Time to go :)

    I delete for not logging in for more than 2 weeks, even if I know you IRL. I've deleted for other reasons only like 3 times.

    Deleted one because they hadn't shown back up for over 2 months. Got one that hasn't shown up in a month that's probably not interested in MFP any more. Giving him a bit more time. I have a single digit number of friends so it's easy to see when one or more never log in. A couple aren't consistent about logging in, but I figure they are the ones who really need the most encouragement so I keep them. :smile:

    I only delete people if they:

    A) Are mean, insensitive and holier-than-thou :huh:
    B) Don't log in very often :indifferent:

    I agree with this post. I have a few friends that do this...I'm constantly supporting them and I never see them comment on anything I do...or don't do. It's slightly annoying. I agree with the person that said I'm not here to make friends, but it's a little rude if you see someone supporting you and you don't give anything back in return. Others have some good reasons to delete in this post, too. But the non-support is the biggest reason for me. I travel a lot, so someone not logging in for a while would not bother me if they said they were going to be gone for a while...

    I delete people because:

    - Your posts seem sane but your posts on the boards reek of insanity.

    This is why people delete me, I suppose.

    my #1 reason- complaining about stuff I would kill to have/do/ afford etc.

    example: girl sits there and calls her parents stupid. blames all her problems on other people. dosnt do anything to improve own quality of life.
    I would kill to see my parents. i work my butt off to have what little i do- and i dont expect any help from anyone. I work two jobs and go to college full time- i have enough headaches in my everyday life, i dont want to be bummed out when i come online. legitimate problems are different. asking for advise is different. and being grateful is good.

    also anyone who complains about not losing any weight, but wont work for it, i dont need on my friends list

    I'm rather offended I didn't make the cut.

    It makes me sad when I get deleted on here. This is a place of support. When people don't want to support me every day, it really feels like "What is this all about?" It hurts. I mean, I do my best. I say WTG!, Good job! Great burn! Way to stay under! every time my friends post something. I'm a good friend. I'm supportive. I care about people and only want people to care back about me. I really wish anyone who deleted me would just give me an explanation as to why? I've lost sleep over this because I can't help but wonder if I was supportive enough or not. It's tough. Keep your chin up and keep moving. There are supportive people on MFP.

    If they dont log in for over seven days, if they are not even trying to reach their goal, or if i find out they are faking their diaries

    I've deleted people off the Friends List. Sometimes it's because they've left MFP judging from the last time they logged in. Sometimes the support is a one way street from me to them and nothing coming in my direction. I usually give them a few weeks to see if they post anything helpful. If not, off the list they go.
    Also, some people just randomly ask to be added to my Friends list then don't interact at all. I don't even know why they ask to be added if they're going to be completely silent, keep their diaries locked down to private and won't post any profile information.

    I haven't had anyone try to sell me anything, but I would delete for that reason as well.

    That's when I check their text messages to see if they are cheating.

    Sorry if this feels bad in some way, but the only people I have deleted is those who overexercise/post they have burned 4 digit calories doing something I considered a cheat-device a.k.a Elliptical :/, I feel sad like if people lie to themselves.

    Also feels like a slap i the face since I have a hard time burning less than ~450 cals in a treadmill in nearly the same amount of time.

    But after all, no need to feel so bad when people delete other people in mfp do we? No big deal unless you made a good friend here and suddenly it's gone with no reason.

    I have deleted friends if they have not logged on in 21+ days. I send messages at 3, 5' 7 and 2 weeks missed logging in. I know people get busy so I try to be supportive. I accept friends except for ranting, irrational people. I am not trying to set any records making friends. I like to say something to each friend daily.
