A controversial suggestion?

I have been saying this for a while, despite that I really have no voice of power as far as something like this would be concerned, but I believe that when the downloads are transferred from the current J2O to J2Ov2, that they should be (in a manner of speaking) elutriated.

That is to say, it is my belief that every file that has rated a 5.0 and less should not be transferred to the new version and should be deleted. I know this is controversial in a sense that probably a handful of people will be angry that their first level or some hotel was deleted, but in the end I think it would sort of cleanse out some of the needless junk that is stored pointlessly on j2o.

People don't download things that are 5.0 and less unless there is some specific reason they need the file. But that case is rare, and it's just common sense that some downloads that are far under a standard don't need to take up space needlessly because they aren't going to be downloaded, aren't fitting to a suitable standard, and more or less do nothing but clutter up things and take up file space.

As far as I can see the benefits outweigh the losses. People are going to be annoyed, but any rational person is going to understand at some time or another. Moreover, it would increase people's level ratings.

Just a suggestion...
