I was reading Chris's profile and noticed he made a really good point.
I believe it would be a great idea even its something small, like 5 points a month. It would give leaderboards a much more definitive meaning.
So I say, start the decay small and increase or remove the system depending on its success.
They should add a decay system to RM General because Daut (daut, slina, itsover9000, nefertiti) is afraid to play me, Tim (sie, sie, xingxin) is inactive on high ids on voobly, alive is inactive on high id on voobly, Patin is inactive on high id on voobly, bling is inactive on high id on voobly, dreams (dreams, storm blizzard) is inactive on high ids on voobly, cyclops (cyclops, the rythm) is inactive on high ids on voobly. Sagramor (i think riut) and Supermen (i think hasan) i havent asked yet so I'm not sure about them. What's stopping the fans from uniting and creating a decay system? It would create more competition and show who is active and the current best. Regardless of whether or not I fit that description, that sounds like that should be the goal of a good rating system.
