Unfriending Etiquette

I only unfriend during special event. Right now I wish/hope not all my neighbors delete me because like many others I am locked out of my game and cannot do a thing about it but wait on EA to fix the problem :hunf: .

I'm actually doing an audit now.

Because i had 100 neighbors but was getting only about 50 visitors for the last few days.

I just went thru the list and booted anyone not played in 2 days or more. That eliminated about 6 people.

Now I'm going to have to print a neighbor list and confirm they are visiting me daily and not just skipping me.

My opinion is that there are thousands of enthusiastic people playing and visiting ALL of their neighbors daily. That's who i want as neighbors. So i have open slots for DAILY ACTIVE players who actually VISIT DAILY TOO.

but i also prefer creative designers too, so if you send me a request, and your town is a mess or just a giant house farm, you may get deleted promptly.

Neighbors aren't friends. There's plenty of neighbors to be had but only a few will be friends. Rotate out your bad neighbors but keep your friends!

if they are the latest level give them a week/week and a half max when they are 2 weeks plus they have usually stopped playing the game and are no longer useful so delete and add new ones.

Swift actions buddy. Like it.

I don't really pay attention until there is nothing left to tap in their town. Usually when that happens, they have cleared their town recently, so they are fine.

If there is nothing to clear and they have been gone for over a week, they get the boot.

Since the last event (where I lost 1 - 3 per day) ended, I have not had any inactive neighbors. I don't keep track of who visits me, I just want neighbors who have stuff for me to tap in their towns. If they also visit me, that is icing on the cake :D

I try to wait 3 to 4 weeks, incase they are on holiday. I also look to see if they create a post on here to say they will be away for any reason

Same with me

I'm usually not too strict and generally don't drop people until maybe a month or two. I have a full friends list and plenty to visit, and who visit me. I'm a little more strict during events, especially if when there are goals to meet and a limited time to do it. If I have neighbors who don't seem to be playing it and invites waiting from ones who want to, I trade them out after a couple days.
