One thing i still don't understand about the idea here is if the suggestion is made applicable to all ranks, secondly, regarding members, does the suggestion also applies only to the airdropped or inactive forum accounts or everyone of us, because from what i know, any member could go being inactive for a while and then feels like coming back to the forum as they pleases, deranking them may go way too far because of inactivities, except the approach is directed towards the airdropped merit members.
I think it is logical to implement this policy for those that received airdropped merits but that will still be problematic along the line but even if theymos wants to implement that, it will not only be a very complex job for them but will appear unnecessary or not really worth the energy and time. Therefore, keeping things as they are is definitely better to avoid causing chaos in the forum.
