can mislead other forum users, is prohibited.

Reasoning.
What we do not want are members using our valuable FREE allowance of Mbs per month, in registrations that will never be used
e.g.
assume that we had 100 members who do not participate yet are in not participating, then "your” space could be used by a member who wants to make use of our community to its fullest. Consider how you would feel if we couldn't allow you to join because this member/s had already taken your place but doesn't use it! Decisions would have to be made as to keeping us totally FREE, or having a have a Membership fee. We only have a certain amount of FREE space after which we have to pay for it, would you be happy to pay for members that contribute nothing other than use up valuable space? This it is the reality of operating such a community that is totally FREE. Hence by deleting members who do not currently participate, it allows us to use their registration space for members who do want to take part. Membership will be upgraded, dependant on members usage,Refer to the "Registration Rules”.
