It is very unintuitive that you would stay registered if you left the website (which can mean, you shut down your computer, etc)

And the really difficult thing for new comers is: It is no-where mentioned that it behaves that way. Which then results in a lot of frustration from oldies and calls for bans.

Shouldn't software behave in the way one would expect it to behave? Thus I suggest to have people be auto-removed as soon as they leave the website or at least to make it very clear somewhere that you will stay registered until you personally click that X next to your name to unregister.

If i am not mistaken the page cannot really know when someone closes his Browser.

The only thing that can be done is to check for someone being "inactive" on the page. But a lot of ppl actually join and stay in for Hours without doing anything on the page .. and they would be removed too .. we had that .. and it was annoying.

So .. all there is .. TELL PPL THEY HAVE TO LEAVE OR GET BANNED :) !

You mean staying registed to a gather? Or just logged in to website? Most websites keep you logged in anyway, and I doubt anyone cares about your ENSL account.

In gather, there has been idle remover, and I think its activated right now. There were some problems with it before.
