Lastly, there is no point. Someone tried to make an account named kaj, but it didn't allow.
1. If the student still uses the account at school then the teacher should tell the student. If it is the holidays then the teacher should either log onto the account and love a project or contact the ST.
2. He could contact the ST and what business trips last 2/3 years? Also, there should be a computer but if not as I said, he can contact the ST.
3. They would get an e-mail and could log onto Scratch and love a project.
4. I don't see the point you're trying to make.
For 4th, what would be the point of the feature? It wouldn't keep namesnipes out a lot…
Oh, that's not the point of deleting inactive accounts.

No support, what if the user comes back?

1. What happens if the student quit the class and still wants to use Scratch
2. Then a billion other people would contact the ST, and it will just clutter their email/messages
3. What if you don't want to love a project?
4. The points are above

2. A billion other people are not going to suddenly go on a three year business trip.
3. There are loads of great projects on Scratch, the featured ones are really good (otherwise ST wouldn't make them featured) so leaving a love really doesn't hurt.
4. This suggestion is to prevent a cluttered server, not to prevent namesnipes.

They would get an e-mail so they would have a chance to do something to keep their account active.

The point is that there are over 8,000,000 Scratchers but loads of them are not active/left/forgot about Scratch. This wastes a lot of server space just because someone can't be bothered to delete their account when they've finished with Scratch.

Ah, OK.

Anyway, are you trying to make this an inconvenience who want to just show their Scratch projects to their family?

But your suggestion will annoy them with emails a lot.

If they want their account to be deleted, they can use that option in the account settings.

1. E-mails to save your Scratch account can get annoying but what would you think?
(E-mail) It seems like your account have been inactive for three years. If you want to keep your Scratch account please do at least one thing that would show up in your activity.
Ok, this is a bit annoying but I will take three minutes to love a project and keep my account active.

Or
It seems like your account have been inactive for three years. If you want to keep your Scratch account please do at least one thing that would show up in your activity.
Seriously? Why do ask me that? Leave me alone, I don't care!

2. I know.

3. I am not. If they forgot they even have a Scratch account they can leave their account inactive because they are likely to forget their password.

I read it as
If they want to delete their account they should click on “delete my account” in account settings. If they don't, then they will have their account deleted unless you have emails
Also, are you forcing people to do stuff so their stuff won't be deleted? This is a kid's programming site, not doing your taxes!
