Making way for active neighbors

I have a ridiculously detailed spreadsheet. (Not because I'm obsessed with the game. Nope. I'm obsessed with spreadsheets. Honestly. I love the things. I have a spreadsheet detailing all the light bulbs required in our house and how many of each kind we have in stock with auto-alerts when we run low... yes, light bulbs, don't pity me, my spreadsheet is amazing.) I note down who I visit each day (as sometimes I don't make it to everyone, though I usually do), and whether they have things on the glitch or not. I then note down what they tap when they visit me: tile, channel 6, farm, other.

Real-life friends and forum regulars are noted in yellow and are safe.

Anyone who hasn't visited in a week or so and has other signs of inactivity (no change to level, aimless characters, etc) gets axed, logic being that they're probably inactive anyway.

Anyone who repeatedly avoids tapping my glitches but is using the glitch themselves gets axed, logic being that they're mean and selfish.

Anyone who doesn't have the Christmas update within the first couple of days will also be axed.

Other than that, if you're visiting me, you're staying on the list. Only exception would be to make way for a real-life friend or a forum regular, in which case those who are least helpful to me (e.g. the one who actively seeks out my brown houses every single visit) are top of the list of people to cull.

Mostly, people have a hard time getting on the list in the first place. Any random invites get ignored if my list is full, which it usually is. If it somehow isn't, anyone who's annoyed me on the forum (whether they know it or not, muahahahaha) gets declined. Anyone with rude, offensive, or sexually explicit names gets declined. Anyone who sends a PM saying "bro, add me" gets declined.

Anyone who bothers to PM and ask nicely gets in and goes on the safe list.

Wow, that was a lot of words.

Oh I am so glad someone else has done a spreadsheet.....was starting to worry about having OCD (maybe should still!)
I keep people who visit regularly, whether it's daily, weekly even monthly. It doesn't matter if they house farm or not although its much more interesting to visit well put together towns....
