Or how about if users with negative overall XP can't post discussions? Or perhaps /ignore could work on nodes as well?

I'm a reserve-officer. Suppose I get sent to some far off country to defend King & Country and upon coming back I find my account at Perlmonks deleted? Nice homecoming!As long as the database can still contain all users, there is no need to change anything.

The problem with this is that some people are perfectly content to lurk. And I'm fine with them doing that. Besides...what's in a name? Nothing guarantees that there won't be two Adam Smith's within a given domain, so why worry if someone has chosen your favorite handle?

Not a very clever idea.
What would have happened to this?
I can live easily with somebody who joins and does not contribute. I have more problems with somebody who contributes too much. ;)
However, I can decide to ignore both.
Please do the same. Whenever you get an urgent desire of posting something trollish, eat something, drink a beer, smoke a sigarette, find a date, whatever, but stay away from the keyboard. Get a life!

Sound advice, but why haven't you taken it yourself?

Wassercrats thinks that users who have annoyed the Monastery with trollish nodes for a certain length of time should be deleted to free up the other users time, like this. This is what Wassercrats says.

I understand that Wassercrats has created troll nodes and feed them oxygen to fan the flames, however, I see nothing wrong with starting this node. ( Well quoting someone else wasn't the smartest move, but not trollish ).
On the other hand, the posts by Anonymous Monk in this node are far more trollish than anything proposed.

I like the idea to delete users without any posts very much.
Once I registered myself, I misstyped my emailaddress to a older invalid one and locked my username.

That belogs to the gods, but I think three month without any post is a good start. The user should be informed about this when he registers himself and It could be repeated in the first email from pm.
