Reasons for me to delete friends:

They never post on the boards even though they have been members a long time.

some people lack digital social skills or have been so badly burned by the forums here that they never venture in again. Or it just frustrates them, or it takes up time they would rather spend working out or on personal projects.

I know that you are TOTALLY allowed to delete people for any reason you want in the entire world. You could delete everyone named Mary if you want.

Bu ti just wanted to say that some of the people on my friends list are from older generations and their wisdom and experience and struggles and victories are all over my friend feed each morning, and almost none of them 'have any time for the forum flimflam' and I don't blame them. too much flimflam lol

I get that some people don't do forums. I don't delete people for not liking to use forums.
For me, being a member for a substantial amount of time and having no posts at all on the forum in combination with the other things I listed (like collecting hundreds of friends and seeming to be more into selling products or their fitness cult rather than just another person trying to lose weight or be healthy) is a sign that they are not here for the same reason I am. They may be great, inspiring people to someone else but I don't want that kind of inspiration.

Now I check people out a bit before accepting a friend request so I shouldn't have those friends to delete anymore anyway.

When you delete people, do they get a notice that you did that? Or is it like on facebook and you can just hide their posts? I would delete people who are trying to sell their products or run their own personal business on fitness. I also would delete people who are crude or offensive, get into political debates, are judgmental about your diary, seem creepy somehow or don't respond for a long period of time.

If they've been gone for over a month (unless I know them personally) or if their diary is seriously unhealthy (i.e. under 1000 net/all fast food)

I delete people if they're inactive BUT I always go to their home page first. If they only log in about once a month or less than that then I delete them. It frustrates me when someone posts in the forums that they need active friends who are supportive and then they drop off the face of the Earth after a few weeks. I'll support you but you have to work at it too.

I also delete people if their posts irritate me. LOL. I know that sounds rude, but I've started doing this on all my social media sites and it's really made my life so much better. If I find that your posts are all negative and they make me feel negative after I read them, then I delete you. I don't need that in my life. Negativity every once in a while is okay--we all have bad days. But if you're a real Negative Nelly, ain't nobody got time for that.

Whenever you want.
