    I've only deleted one person ....for posting inappropriate jokes/comments. I'm happily married and plan to stay that way forever.

    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.


    oh this could be a reason for me too!

    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.

    I've only deleted anyone for constant misery and drama....And I mean constant as in every five mins. Otherwise, everything is cool :)

    I made a comment on my wall about this.

    My take is this; If you have THAT much time that you can keep strict tabs on their log ins, then you obviously aren't spending enough time on yourself.

    I usually try to check on the person first. They may just need a friend.

    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.

    I want to be on the ginger friends list! I haven't unfriended anyone except someone who had an eating disorder and wanted support for it. But my preference is friends who interact with me on occasion. I have a few that are really encouraging on a daily basis, and it is great!

    There needs to be support both ways. If that is not happening then there seems to be little point in continuing the friendship.

    This - and also if people just rabbit on about a lot of other stuff not related to the "core business" - but never comment or support me. I like to have a few friends who are relatively active in MFP and offer mutual support :smile:

    I really don't delete people, even those that haven't logged in for quite some time. I like to think they'll come back, goodness knows how many times I've fallen off the wagon only to find my way back a few days/weeks later. I try to be as supportive as possible.

    The only people I will have no problem deleting are those that cause drama. No time for that crap, have enough of it in my real life.

    I never delete. As long as I am here, I will still be their friend. A lot of bad things happen in a short span of time. That is no reason to abandon them.

    a month of not logging in or if I can't say anything nice about how they are eating. I like to have people that eat good food not fast food for nearly every meal each day. Now saying that I don't mind the odd day or two that you have something out just not junk every day.
