Deleting Some Failed Applications
For the first time on Rogue Connect we’ve invoked our exclusive status and deleted the accounts of people who have applied for membership, but have failed to be given it by our members. All up we’ve deleted over 100 applications, the list was simply becoming too long.
We are looking at ways of making this a process. Only around 45% of people who apply for Rogue Connect accounts end up getting one. That leaves a lot of applicants. Some are dormant and don’t return once they feel they won’t get in, others continue to tweak their profile hoping to get in. As we redevelop the membership and voting feature, it will definetley be the latter applicants (and our existing members) who are the primary focus.
The route I don’t want to go down is that of BeautifulPeople, their site deletes you after so many days (seven I think) which I don’t think is a good enough time to find out if people are ‘Rogue’ enough to get membership.
