It has been discussed for a long time and finally it can come true.
I encourage everyone to go and vote in order to create a Decay System, that is if you agree on it

We have the opportunity to create a new Rating Decay System for Voobly.
This basically means if players do not play rated games for a given time then Voobly automatically takes some points from the account.
The whole purpose of this suggestion is to try and make the current ladders more accurate.
Voobly receives many many complaints every month regarding the Ladders being false / fake, well this is your chance to make a difference by Voting for it.
This will never fix every problem but will go a very long way towards removing Players names that do not play any longer and names that are no longer used. It will also eventually remove all Banned players from the Ladders.
The ultimate aim is to create more accurate ladders and allow different players to reach higher ladder positions.
Most ladders see the same players over and over just using different names.
Something that I personally see as incorrect and unfair to the majority of our users.
I will explain the basic idea below, but please feel free to ask any questions before Voting.
1. Decay will ONLY affect ratings above 1800
2. Players MUST be inactive for 10 days
3. Players ONLY need to play 1 game on that ladder in 10 day's
4. 20 points will be Decayed only AFTER 10 day's of NOT playing on that ladder
5. 10 day's starts after YOUR last rated game played. NO SET DATES
6. Once a Player's rating decay's to 1800 it STOPS.
So to summarise :
Play 1 rated game each 10 day's and NOTHING will happen, everything stays as it is now.
DO NOT Play 1 rated game in 10 day's and if above 1800 rating you will automatically lose 20 points.
If you are BELOW 1800 rating on the ladder NOTHING WILL HAPPEN
This process will eventually remove Banned players and inactive smurfs from all ladders
Hopefully players can see the real benefit in this new system, and agree that playing just 1 game in 10 day's is not a lot to ask.
PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS A SUGGESTION ONLY. NOTHING WILL HAPPEN UNLESS THE MAJORITY OF PLAYERS WANT IT TO HAPPEN.
Personally I would love to see the community take this on board, if you do too then please vote Strongly Agree.
