Remove inactive members

Limzo counts members who have not posted for a chosen window — 2, 4, 8, or 12 weeks — among the members it has seen. It kicks them, never bans: a removed member can rejoin any time with an invite link. This is the alive-but-silent counterpart to removing deleted accounts.

The list lives in the Mini App:

1. Open the Limzo Mini App: tap Open Admin Panel in your chat with Limzo, or send /settings in the group, and pick your group.
2. Open Inactive members in the Members section.
3. Under Consider a member inactive after, pick 2, 4, 8 or 12 weeks of silence. The default is 4.
4. Tap See who’s quiet.

You get each member, their @handle, and how long since they last posted. The list is admin-only on purpose: the shareable web report counts quiet members without ever naming them.

Removal runs from the weekly admin report, on every plan:

1. Wait for the weekly report DM (see admin reports). It shows Quiet for 4+ weeks with the count.
2. Tap Remove inactive members under it.
3. Limzo removes them and confirms how many it removed. In a big group, tap again when it says more are still to remove.

Nothing happens automatically on Free: you decide, and you tap.

Removing people is not the only option. On the list, tick anyone (or tap Select all) and tap Send a nudge: Limzo posts one friendly message in the group mentioning them, so they actually get a notification. No warning, no removal — just a hello. Free on every plan; a nudge names up to 20 members, and a group can send one every 12 hours.

With the window at 4 weeks, See who’s quiet lists 37 members. You nudge 20 of them first, and a few start posting again. The next weekly report shows 31 quiet members, you tap Remove inactive members, and those 31 are kicked. Anyone who wants back in rejoins with your invite link.

On Pro and Ultra, switch on Remove them automatically on the Inactive members page and Limzo sweeps on a recurring schedule. Off by default. Two options go with it:

• Post a heads-up first — Limzo announces the cleanup in the group a day before, so anyone quiet can send a message to stay.
• Tag them in that heads-up — mentions the quiet members by name so the warning reaches them. Off by default, because it notifies everyone it names.

You pick the inactivity window on the same page.

Admins and trusted members are always exempt, and so is anyone who posts again before the sweep. Limzo needs the “Ban/restrict users” admin right to remove anyone; without it, the button explains what is missing.

The usual causes:

• Limzo says it needs the Ban/restrict users right: turn it on with the permissions guide.
• No button in this week’s report: no member was quiet for the whole window, or the week was too quiet for a report.
• Someone you expected is missing from the list: Limzo only counts members it has seen since it joined, and admins and trusted members are never listed for removal.
• The list says tracking is paused: the group reached its monthly limit, so the list is not accurate until next month.
• The nudge is refused: the group already sent one in the last 12 hours, or quiet hours are on.

Kicked members can always rejoin with an invite link.

Kicking keeps your member list honest without punishing anyone — the door stays open. It is the gentlest way to turn a number-padded group back into an active one.
