Account reset feature #55

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
(From Guillaume Hanique) I'd like a way to reset my account. I'm using 
wavereactor.appspot.com and, as a result of trying the import feature in its 
early days, my inbox is full of unwanted waves. Now that I can import by 
WaveIDs, I'd love to be able to "reset" my Google account on this server and 
then to connect it again but this time with a fresh start. Is that something 
that looks possible?

How many waves do you have, roughly?  Right now, the only way to get rid of 
them is to open each and remove all participants.  It's a bit tedious but not 
impossible.  Account reset seems like a very drastic feature, I don't know if 
it's worth implementing.

You could also wait and see if we get a "mute" or "archive" feature that would 
allow you to get them out of your view.

There's 86 in my Walkaround inbox, but none of them where chosen by me, and I 
have this enormous amount of duplicates. See: http://i.imgur.com/MNdFT.png

Sadly the duplicate wave you've seen everywhere in this screenshot is an old 
public wave that has hundreds of participants, and that makes finding your 
contact for removing it very difficult. And it has to be done for each 
replicate...

A "mute" or "archive" feature would of course make things easier for the user, 
but I'm also thinking about the public demo server owner: that wouldn't free 
the AppEngine quota that those usefulness waves are eating, right?

A "delete" feature would help but again, unless every participants delete those 
waves I guess they won't go away from the server. And it's unlikely that the 
hundreds of Gwave participants of such waves will all join this demo server to 
make their inbox clean. 

I have no idea on how to solve this "spammy import" issue. I guess that if 
someone imports into wavereactor.appspot.com a stupid "sudoku" wave (where I 
was added as participant by the sudoku bot just by opening this wave once) then 
it will pollute my wavereactor inbox as well...
