It'd be discouraging for returning users to see that they're being cast aside like all their work meant nothing. And it'd be disheartening for non-returning users to see that what they've left behind was worth nothing. Your proposal means that users will not only be unmotivated to return to activity, but also for users to write anything here at all because it will potentially be deleted a few years later.
