What's caused you to drop a neighbor?

i once dropped a nosy neighbor for invading my privacy.

If I had all the time in the world I'd redesign my town as an exact replica of a friend's town, just to mess with them when they visited.

Lag. For whatever reason, some neighbor towns become very difficult to navigate because of a lag issue in their particular Springfield. If they've been a good, long-term neighbor I'll hide their town for a month or two and check back in on them. If the situation has resolved itself then it's all good. However, from what I've seen, most neighbor towns that start lagging rarely ever stop lagging. When that's the case, I have to drop them.

Inactivity. I want my neighbors to be active, and play the events like I do.

My tolerance for inactivity is 4 weeks/1 month.

I deleted the neighbors who were engaged in cheating (hacking).

This is going to sound silly, but how would someone invade your privacy? There's no communication except on the forum. Do they DM you or something?

Also, aside from inactivity I sometimes unfriend people depending on their design. Not because I don't like it or anything, but some players have no roads in their town except one spot. So I have to scroll through their entire town trying to find the spot so I can tap on people (during events).

So far just for 8 weeks of inactivity, but if I saw the meesage the OP saw, I would drop that neighbor.

Thats easy. When I see they haven't logged in in over 7 months. lol.....that tells me they are never coming back to the game. I usually don't even wait that long. Even 2 months away from the game tells me they have given up on it or something.

I dropped one because during the I&S event as he placed 3 of the same KrustyLand debris letters next to each other which I found offensive, but considering the amount of redesigning everyone had to do at that time I gave him the benefit of the doubt and hid him for a few weeks but, still there when I went back. I'm considering dropping 2 more as I suspect them of dubious gameplay methods. During the past couple of events they've had an extraordinary amount of content, which I accept can be explained by spending a whole heap of money on buying donuts (I say buy because they're both under lvl 300 unless there are legitimate ways of getting oodles of donuts for free that I don't know about) but I now think that 1 must've been using dubious methods during Bart Royale as they had the ruffian fort at least a week before the act it related to started. Plus I don't get rewards for the actions I perform in their towns, when I tap, things just disappeared and no pop-up box saying you've helped whoever all you can today, unless that's just a random oddity which sometimes happens? I know that last bit maybe a little off topic, for which I apologize
