unused do not equal inactive

Sure, but “unused” is a subset of “inactive.” As a result, “deleting unused accounts” is rejected since “deleting inactive accounts” is rejected.

No - I don't think that's how that works. If an account is totally unused (has created nothing on Scratch other than the account) - that's different from an account that has become inactive after being active for some period of time. I personally would not have an issue with removing accounts that had never been active.

Interesting, but how would you know if an account was never “active”? An account has to have been logged in originally (unless its a class account), and so would it be considered active if, say, the owner, after creating it, sent a single comment, or stayed logged in for a week?

That still counts as “activity”, since the ST has access to unshared projects.

Okay, I know this is an old forum, but it's basically turned into an argument and people just trying to push it up, so I want to share my response here.

I think they should be deleting unused accounts under this criteria:

- they have done either nothing, or close to nothing (basically just like hearting 2 things)
- they have either not created any projects, or they have created only EMPTY projects. (projects with literally nothing in them besides the default stuff)
- their account is at least 10 months old

What do you think about this??

1. loving 2 projects is a really small requirement so namesnipes could easily be created that pass the requirements not to be deleted. then only legitimate accounts would be deleted.
2. what if a legitimate user loves only 1 projects

additional point: what if there are teachers who create student accounts for a time in the future and then come back to find them deleted
