3-4 weeks. Right now I probably have a few that need to be replaced but I generally don't bother until I have a good handful of people. I'm actually starting to like random adds because so many of my niehbors stop playing so often, it gets tedious having to replace so much plus those people are turning out to be good adds :mrgreen:

I guess I'm pretty harsh. I give about a week, on average. The way it typically works out is that I don't notice they're gone until there's nothing to tap. On a typical max-level town, that might take anywhere from 4 days to a week. I start paying attention when I have to check their Krustyland for something to tap. By the time everything's gone, I take a look at how long they've been offline. If it's less than 3-4 days, I give them a little more. If it's close to or more than a week, I drop them. There are exceptions: if I see a message saying they're on vacation, or if I particularly like their town or know them from the forum, I give them more leeway. But basically, I usually have at least 10 friend requests pending because people keep randomly sending them. I don't really sweat losing one random for another.

I generally allow around 8 weeks before I think about removing them from my neighbours list.

Active forum member...I give him/her two weeks before I send a PM asking them what's going on.Random person? A week at most. No connection to them, no reason to keep someone I don't know around when there are others who need neighbors and who are active all the time.

For me, it depends on who the neighbor is. If they have been a good neighbor for a long time, and then I see inactivity, I assume something may be going on with them, so I'll give them more time than normal. Otherwise, I typically unfriend after 4 hours of inactivity, unless they're an excellent neighbor, then I may double that time.

If there is consistently nothing to tap in someone's town. So if I am friends with someone and they log in once every 6 days but I can only tap their town once a week, that person will be deleted. Had to delete someone who was a weekly player only a few eels ago. Just had nothing to tap when I visited. When I check I usually give people a week. As said before though, I am much more lenient with RL friends and forums members.

Minimum amount of time before unfriending

If someone has a house farm they may last a month without being active but if there's nothing to tap for 2 weeks they're gone

I deleted someone a few weeks back as he had most buildings squished into 2 strips of land, at max land and the entire SF was a house farm. I don't mind tasteful farms but the farm never changed so I deleted them.

I have a couple friends like that. It's really ugly but I don't care, since there's always something to tap.

I don't mind house farms as long as some of the houses are available for neighbors to tap. I figure they are building up their money supply and that's one way to do it.

I don't normally care about house farms. Just there is a point where is is too much. I couldn't handle seeing squashed cool premiums :(

I'm freemium and I have a small house farm. I get a bit defensive when people talk of deleting house farmers. :lol:

:lol: trust me, it takes one hec of a farm for me to delete someone. This person had been playing long term, should not have a need for that many houses. I'm usually cool with farmers. I have a few on my friends list and no where near reaching for delete. Especially on the smaller towns. I understand how much they can help. Also freemiums like yourself. Without having as high of a multiplier (possibly) House farms help a lot.

This seems harsh. I usually go with 6-8 hours depending how well I know them.

No chance of getting sleep? :shock:

Real tappers, tap while they sleep.

I do that already...only I'm dream tapping. Guess I'll have to sleep tap instead :shock:

You people are harsh! I have friends that haven't played since Halloween, but they have pretty towns so I keep them. If I'm going away for an extended period of time, I leave a note in my landing zone

If someone gives us notice that they aren't play we aren't going to delete them, it's the ones that just stop playing without notice that we are quicker to remove. It's not harsh, it's just manners to let others know we aren't going to be around.

It's probably a mindset, those of us who feel the need to have the maximum number of visits per day thus earning the most money and XP vs. those who don't care about the most amount or just like to look at the towns...guess I'm not quite there money-wise but coming close to it now that I can build at will instead of out of necessity.
