Surely you thought to email those in question first, correct? A simple email could be sent to each monk in question that explains to them what is happening. This gives them a chance to login, thus removing them from the list of candidate accounts to be deleted. Automatic deletion is dangerous, and final. But ...

Most of these Zombie Monks have no write-ups and homenodes of length 0. The top 10 largest homenodes collectively take up almost 300K. My two largest writeups are 19K and 15K. tilly's writeups total around 3 megs.

However, i do agree that at some point this might become an issue of relevence, but when that time comes i am sure that the committee of gods will best decide how to handle it.
