    Who cares its the internet...

    It's not FB and these people aren't your "real" friends anyways, and you should be the only one keeping yourself accountable.

    /end thread

    Some people care, A LOT!

    Some people keep spreadsheets so if someone deletes them they can figure out who it is.

    Some people see that you've deleted them and start sending whiny/abusive messages over it.

    Some people start threads in forums to identify people who've deleted them.

    Me? I can't even tell when someone has cut me. And if they do I assume they had their reasons.

    those people need more to do with their time...

    LOL

    How long is a fortnight? Just wanna know how long it's going to take OP to do a retaliatory deletion of me since I just FR'd him. It rolls downhill you know, and this just might get it out of his system being able to take it out on someone else.

    fortnight = fourteen nights = 2 weeks

    I delete people specifically for being "friend collectors," i.e., people who seem to be just trying to get the number on their friend count high and who aren't interacting with ME. I don't need self-promoting updates from strangers who don't interact with me in my feed.

    I delete people for being boring.

    I delete people for just having a substantially different / incompatible fitness philosophy from mine.

    I delete people for whininess.

    I delete people for creepiness.

    I delete people because I don't owe them anything, bro. I get deleted too sometimes. NBD, get over it.

    I find it simpler and more efficient to use one word instead of two, and I generally reduce units of measure to their lowest common denominator… isn't saying "I drank a gallon of water" a less awkward formulation than "four quarts," "eight pints", "sixteen cups" and/or "128 ounces"?

    Ok, one more. Yes, I deleted someone once for logging their sex calories over and over and over. Logging sex once, out of curiosity, I can handle. But logging it PUBLICLY over and over? Yeah, not so much.:laugh:

    I delete if they have not logged in for 7 days.

    I rarely delete, even the inactive ones. I did recently delete one who consistently logged 500-600 calorie days with the same in burns and other ED behaviour but who completely ignored any comments questioning/advising this. I'm not here to support ED behaviour.

    I'm amazed people actually find these entertaining. I tried a couple of them and I think I lost IQ points.

    edited to get rid of a bunch of quotes.

    I've never delete people, but I've been deleted in the past. It is very disheartening. At this point, I am actively looking for friends to support and be supported by--I have a long journey and some company would be nice.

    Robyn
    Have you ever deleted one or more of YourFitnessPals, and, excepting cases of harassment and/or credible threats to physical safety, why? I find myself rather charmingly befuddled by my unusually high FitnessPal attrition rate as an otherwise well-mannered, respectful and moderately active member (159 days) though never to the point of flooding others' feeds… in one richly ironic instance a member who took to this very forum seeking accountabilibuddies who *wouldn't* delete her nonetheless did the very same to me in less than a fortnight!

    The most common justification I've come across is an extended period of inactivity on the part of the deleted: if that is indeed the case;

    (1) An inactive FitnessPal, by definition, would not be clogging your feed or otherwise hindering your MFP experience… "What difference — at this point — does it make?";

    (2) Is not MyFitnessPal's very raison d'être that of mutual accountability? Rather than delete, would not a polite nudge in the form of a message or wall post be more appropriate and consistent with the spirit of MFP? My experience has been that MyFitnessPals who've returned following an extended absence usually have compelling reasons for their inactivity, to say nothing of genuine contrition for their absence.


    PS Please feel free to add me as your accountabilibuddy: No explanation needed, I've never deleted anyone, nor have I the intention absent the aforementioned exceptions.

    I can't get past the jargon to understand the question. Delete.


    FWIW, I delete based upon the individual person, our interactions, and if my hormonal swings line up with the full moon. So, basically anything goes.

    This^^ I'm so guilty. I deleted about 60 of mfp a couple weeks ago. I don't know why... Just did. I did the same thing to my fb on the same day. Was going through a "thing" I guess. I'm a chick, I can totally do that. Now, I'm looking for friends again, psssh! Want to be my friend?? :bigsmile: :ohwell:

    Yea, I don't log that because it's something I do on a daily basis, like cleaning. :laugh:
