how long before a confirmed swap nullifies or cancels itself ? add feature to kill/delete?

I have a few confirmed swaps that are stagnated, it may be that the person has passed or some other long term issue.

I mean, 3 months old or more and no activity, will the numista site automatically time out after a period of time has passed, how long?

If not, is there a way to delete it, and neither of us rates ? Kill feature after 6 months?

Thanks for input
Mike

Hello,
There is no way to cancel a swap after it has been confirmed. What you can do is:

1. Write to your swap partner so he knows you don't intend to continue with this swap (just to avoid they send the coins when they wake up 3 months after).
   
2. Click on "Hide in swap monitor" from the page of the swap, so you won't see it again.

​OK Thank you, so no time limit at all? even after 2 years later I could get a review from the past?

Yes, that's possible.

I would be concerned about misuse of a delete button, as a dishonest user could enter multiple swaps and then "delete" them to prevent any negative rating. If something like this was considered, a counterbalance might be to includea report on the user profile of number of swaps deleted, so misuse could be detected easily.

I thought when a swap doesn't get finished the 'on the road' counter goes away after a month or two.

​Yes, that is what I really want to know, and it appears they do drop off as I show less swaps on the road than actually are. Yeah, the delete button is a bad idea, Im just glad they drop off the "swaps on road" as the status is unfair when I have 3 or 4 with NO activity/rating. In some cases, we swapped, but no one wants to rate, and a few got sick. etc
I think my issue solves itself, just not liking someone could wake up from a coma, then rate bad because they dont remember anything, or say a Grandpa passes and his newly appointed ward is 12 years old with his password.

I have ran into this as when I asked for payment (was a purchase), the 12 year old child did not have a credit card or pay pal, I finally figured it out, his account was way older than his vocabulary. Or maybe anyone bought grandpas computer at a yard sale with cached passwords, yep, happens a lot.

I just feel maybe the rating function should time out after 6 months?
