Richard Asberg Posted March 17, 2020 at 10:07 PM Posted March 17, 2020 at 10:07 PM I read 22% of all active Vatsim accounts have never logged on to the network. That is a huge amount! Wouldn't it make sense to delete (or at least lock) accounts that haven't been used for x amount of time? Richard Åsberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted March 17, 2020 at 11:15 PM Posted March 17, 2020 at 11:15 PM This normally happens, hence we have returning members who need to re-activate their accounts at https://cert.vatsim.net/vatsimnet/statcheck.html Cheers, Andreas Member of VATSIM GermanyMy real flying on InstagramMy Twitch streams of VATSIM flights and ATC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Asberg Posted March 19, 2020 at 10:37 AM Author Posted March 19, 2020 at 10:37 AM How is the reactivation done, just by a few clicks or is more required? Thinking about all trolls connecting to Vatsim only to cause issues for others. And how it would be very nice with the new P0 requirements in place if former trolls won't be able to keep connecting to Vatsim using accounts they already created.

Andreas Fuchs Posted March 19, 2020 at 11:20 AM Posted March 19, 2020 at 11:20 AM Have you tried the URL? Just enter your VATSIM ID. It will then show you your status and if your account was deactivated you'd see another URL do re-activate it. It is very simple. Back in the days when I was the director of VACC-SAG/VATSIM Germany, the information we had was that more than 40% of people who signed up for VATSIM would never ever connect to the network. This prompted us to start a campaign where we sent an e-mail to all new registered members of our region, providing them with step-by-step instructions on how to get started at VATSIM, to help them.

Richard McDonald Woods Posted March 19, 2020 at 11:46 AM Posted March 19, 2020 at 11:46 AM Hi Andreas, I would doubt that many of the new VATSIM members would be unable to get started. I would guess that it could only be determined by contacting each of them to help, but that is quite impractical. Perhaps an automated email to warn of impending account closure might prompt a few? We probably will never know! People are fickle sometimes. Cheers, Richard You are the music, until the music stops. T.S.Eliot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
