=== Group expenses ===
It is important to keep in mind that maintain a group platform for an activity, has associated financial costs and having of platform full of accounts that are not actually active within the group purpose, turns into expenses for the organizers which do not have the intended investment outcome of the people paying for it.

== Toronto Bladers chat ==
In order to be part of the [[bladers chat]] the skater '''must be part of the skater's group organizing platform''' which since 2021 has been [[kommunity]]. The [[chat]] is also optional but recommended. If the skater does not have an active membership in the group, there is no valid reason to be in the [[bladers chat]]. '''Approval to the [[bladers chat]] is always pending on being part of the skating group.'''
The [[bladers chat]] exists to support group event activities that matter to everyone in the group such as:
* Plan events, get in touch during events, post [[live gps tracking]] during skate activities
* Share tutorials, skating URLs, equipment, documentation, news, private sales ('''not advertising stores''')
* Share pictures, feedback, suggestions and videos of events
Being part of the [[bladers chat]] without being part of the skating group defeats its purpose and increases it's [[chat]] activity with many other topics which end up by not being related to the aforementioned support and overwhelms some skaters who may get a large amount of notifications on their electronic devices. These skaters end up by muting the app, the group and it's activity. Some even leave the [[bladers chat]] or lose interest on it.
''Being on the [[bladers chat]] is like being in love'' and sometimes we may get carried away and it will go on forever. However it can also cause a lot of traffic on mobile devices and synchronization between all the devices of the skater which may also increase data consumption and overwhelm the person's resources as well as the skater's attention.
Due to these reasons the skater is kindly asked to [[chat]] and share within reason of the nature of the group and to '''address any other skater in private when the matter is more at an individual level rather than at a group level'''. For everything else, we can also make good use of many other social platforms out there and let our passion go with our stories and adventures.

By removing a member account that is not active skating with the group, the intended outcome is to maximize resources for active skaters and:
By removing a member account that is not active skating with the group, the intended outcome is to maximize resources for active skaters and:


* Decrease the amount of mobile data traffic between the skater and group electronic devices
* Decrease synchronization times between all members electronic devices
* Focus on the skaters that are active and be able to create events and activities that match the active skater interests as opposed to generic event for everyone

* Decrease the amount of emails that are sent to the group and prevent ''spam'' as the '''organizing platforms limit the amount of emails that can be sent to members, per day, week and even how many emails can be sent to members at all.''' For example, if a platform as a limit of 50 members reach per email and time and a group with 100 members only has 50 that are actually active, given that the platform does not distinguish the difference, then some of the active skaters will never be reached.
