  and a lot of journals haven't been used for comments, have no friends and aren't members of asylums. you can see all of that in the ui. some people hold on to journals just to hoard them so no one else can

    Fine... Delete squatter journals. But not just journals with no posts, as you originally said.

    Hoarding 3 year old journals isn't the problem. Spammer activity is the problem. And spammers DO post entries and comment. That's why they're spammers. Deleting on the basis of comments would not help anything.
