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

This is true. I contacted EA complaining about Bravewall not accepting my invite because of numbers in my user name. Not only did they change how my user name appears in his game, so he'd accept my 48th invitation, EA also gave me some donuts for my troubles, and assured me they would "coach" him on his anti-numberist attitude. :lol:

when I was at a lower level, I waited 4 to 6 weeks.
Now... 2 to 4 weeks... just got tired of waiting. However I do always allow min of 2 weeks for wi-fi free vacations which I myself take often. As a courtesy I do leave a message by the landing zone.

Oh and my house farm (40 browns, 10 purples, pumpkins and huts and other event multiple-acquisitions) is clustered together for my neighbors when I am inactive (working sleeping camping fishing.....) It is hard to leave something for everyone without a house farm when maintaining 80-100 neighbors. My max sanity threshold seems to be around 80. :shock:

Wow! Thanks for all the replies! Everyone has a different method to the tapping madness! Love it! I now feel comfortable with my timeline for unfriending.

After events people tend to take a break. Especially high level players like me with millions of dollars and max friendship level! I do not check number of visits so much now, I check what level they are on. A lack of visits plus a 3 or more level deficit usually gets me suspicious but I still give them a couple of weeks!

On that note I have slots available :-)

Sounds like you ended up with the typical call center employee who gave you what you wanted to hear and didn't actually do anything :lol: :mrgreen:

No, they actually did send me a notice about sensitivity training so that I can better appreciate people who identify themselves with numbers in their names.

Instead of reading it, decided to quit being a moderator. I'm still waiting for them to remove my mod status, but they are slow on changes like that. So basically I have all of the power, and none of the responsibility at the moment which is pretty awesome. But I'd rather be a regular forum member than have to respect number names in any way, shape or form.

Actually, I chose just my name but the game altered it into what you see now. I'm hideous. Look away...
