I'm not sure if this has been said before.

We now we lose 20 points if we arnt active in 1 week I think. But why not just hid the account after 2 weeks or less. So other players can be notice and if those players who have a problem with the account being hidden all they have to do is play a scored game. So their account won't be hidden and won't lose anymore points until the weeks are up.

If you want to have it for every 4 weeks then ok it will help but less weeks the better I think.

20 points a week is an awful short time. I preferred the 2 week rule.

I think hiding accounts just makes the jobs harder for Scott and mods I think

I'm glad you said that. If scottlu already wrote in a program that takes points away after a week I don't think it would be any harder to add to hid the account when points are taken away. So mods wouldnt have to do anything other then posting the update so people would now what's going on.

for newbies, having their account hidden could be a distressing thing. other than that good idea. we could scale between hiding an account after X days and taking some amount of points off after Y days.
I.e.
3 days - account hidden from lb
12 days - points deducted
or
3 days - points deducted
12 days - account hidden

3 days man isn't that asking to much for a leaderboard. I like weeks
For the newbies they should read the instructions before they start playing it's the old players that might be the problems.For new players they shouldn't be on the leaderboard if they are then something worng.

you need to realise that not all of us can play everyday or every week.

points deducation should stay the same at the 2week mark. and like after 4 weeks or 5 weeks your account gets hidden, while points continue to get deducted

Talk to mods they changed it with out letting anyone now. I think it was changed after the leaderboard rest.

I like the "lose 10 points per day after two weeks of inactivity" plan. That seems fair enough.

This is shit ive been on this game for this whole week and. I only did one game... Every time i enter the game room, theres only 5-6 players... If ur doing so strict rules, u gotta get more players before applying those rules
