Actually, a rule should be in placed to automatically "delete or remove" members who have been inactive for a long periods of time from all the groups they have singed in.

Otherwise those numbers make no sense...

I suspect that what is happening is that 'SWISS' is just changing the date on the event rather than creating a new one each week. Very misleading, confusing and not particularly helpful. (This opinion is supported by the comments going back to 2013!)

Perhaps suggest to SWISS that they create a new event each week instead? (as people usually do).

Hi guys and thanks for the heads up,

Indeed, if people change the date of their activity again and again instead of duplicating / reposting the event then the participants list keeps growing.

If we see this becoming a trend we'll take action but for now it seems to be only Swiss' Running Events so I think we're OK.

Re not showing people who haven't logged in as attending, it just seems like a bit of a complex solution to a problem that I'm not sure even exists...

Thanks again and have a great week,

Oded

I'll admit that I am one of those pesky members of the "Geneva Runners - Wed. training, we run, we job, we walk" group activity who has been a member for about six years but never actually participated. I appreciate the regular reminders even if I haven't participated yet!

I think the activity is a bit unlike most of the other group activities in that it is regularly recurring. I'm not sure we need the organizers to go through the effort of copying it for new ones every week and deleting or removing members seems unnecessary.

Exactly!  

When the "Groups" thing started, a lot of people created groups, signed up for groups and have never tidied up their own profile since.  I don't think it's a job for the site administrators to monitor and police people's participation of the Group to which they belong, it's up to us, as individuals to "leave the group" if we are no longer interested.

I haven't participated in my OWN Cycling Group for about two years - where does that leave me!

There is a "new" feature (it's been around a while) where you can duplicate an event, which is what I do with my regular Lausanne Movie Group.  

What MAY be useful to suggest (especially for SWISS) to Site Amin would be to slightly amend the "duplicate" feature to leave everything but the date and time, the same.

i.e. not having to renew the photo every time and re-invite the group every time - maybe that's what SWISS finds time consuming and why she does it like she does?

I agree with Jason that deleting or removing for this reason is unecessary.  

I'd rather the focus was on deleting or removing members who sign up for activities, (weekend breaks in this instance) then cancel at the last minute leaving the organiser out of pocket.

You know who you are.....

I think you are missing the point

Look at the "Geneva Runners group" tonights event.

Then find profile :

So yesterday was the 'day of the axe' at glocals.
