automatically unlist studs as publically available if user is inactive

Every time I'm looking for a stud to breed pups with auburn markings, my gullible self ends up clicking the same one at some point and thinking he's perfect for my goal before remembering: nope, user is still inactive and if I wait for them my female's heat will just end. 

I was thinking it would be helpful if studs were automatically unlisted as available for studding if the user has not rolled over for a certain number of days, maybe a week. It could help an issue arising down the line where there could be numerous studs listed when you search that actually have not logged in for months. I'd hate to see people accidentally wasting heats by sending a stud application application and forgetting about it when it's neither excepted nor declined. 

i support! it's not a problem i've run into yet but it's definitely going to become one at some point since inevitably some of the initial interest from public launch will drop off

Either this or a viewable last login on the request page. Both would be very helpful.

Not so much of a fan for a last login date. I allready find the "last active" on the players profile to be a bit much considdering I can't turn it off.

But definitely support for the not showing up thing. Instead of a week I would even say the time of a heat (which should be 4 days?). Stands to reason that even if the user is not quire as active and doesn't roll over daily he is often enough around to actually tend to the stud request.

Support for anything along those lines!  So many inactive studs...

I would prefer to also see a last login time, because different player clearly have different ideas for what kind of inactive time is okay so it'd be hard to set a cutoff.  For me, I wouldn't want to request any stud who hasn't been active today - I often schedule pregnancies pretty specifically, so my female might be on the last day of heat because I didn't want too many puppies at once, or I might want a pregnancy today in order to avoid winter-born puppies, or what not.

But either way, anyone who hasn't been active for several days clearly shouldn't be listed at all.

I agree. I also think the owner should get something, either in their RO summary or seperate, about how their stud needs to be relisted due to inactivity.

Alternatively, something that comes to mind (odd, I'm so sorry!) is the Christmas event on LD. If someone isn't active for a week, you are unable to gift/poop them and they're excluded from the 'random den' button thingy. However, after they RO they're automatically able to earn gifts again. For the stud thing, the stud would probably be hidden from search and you'd get a warning banner about inactivity if you tried going to his breeding page via the owner's den.

I honestly don't like the idea of having to manually relist them because I just know people would forget after a short break and then be without a stud
