Does anyone delete friends who haven't logged in for a while?

    Same here. If they come back they can re-add me but I get tired of the feed telling me so and so hasn't logged on and I should encourage them. Nope, they need to be accountable for themselves.

    Yeah, unless I know them from elsewhere (IRL or friends from online from another forum or something) they get 3-4 weeks of not logging in.

    I just started a couple of weeks ago and 4 friends haven't logged in for almost a week. I have sent some messages. One came back, computer issues. I am giving the others a few more days you just are never sure.

    I feel bad deleting friends, but if they are inactive to the point when I feel they arent coming back I will usually delete. Also if someone constantly posts negative "I'M GONNA BINGE" or "YAY DAY THREE OF STARVATION" I will give a couple words of encouragement and if ignored or beyond hope I delete... I feel bad for those people and I hope they get help but I can't have them on my journey towards health!

    I did at first until it was done to me. I was suprised at how I felt about that. I have kept everyone since then and just give them a little encouragement from time to time. That's what this is all about right.

    If you use the app does it still count as a log in?

    I am a difficult MFP friend. If your diary always consists of McDonalds, if you don't share your diary and if you don't log in regularly ... I delete. I am self motivated and try to befriend others who are just as motivated and who have a positive attitude. Of course we all have our good and bad days/weeks ... but if there's a negative trend over a few days, I delete.

    Yup. I also delete friends that log in every day but don't interact with me at all.

    Good call! I agree. I deleted someone the other day who posted that she could not sleep because she was starving. Okay, I get that, but when the following posts went intro vodka and pill consumption in place of food, I was both saddened and horrified. I just adore 13inchesto fo and my other pals. They are funny, wise, and honest. We have are flaws, but I don't want to be part of anyone's negativity!

    If they don't log in for two weeks, then they are gone. Also, others that don't post comments or don't show encouragement, also get the boot.

    All the time. If they don't bother to log on, eat like crap, don't exercise and whine about not losing, and don't bother to give support...they get the can.
