At this stage I honestly can't tell if we're taking activity too seriously or not seriously enough, heh.
Just use common sense. If a user has been inactive for a period you are not comfortable with, take appropriate action. It shouldn't be this big of a controversy, should it?
It wasn't a general subjective perception of inactivity that I was referring to.
My original point was that it seems, as things stand, that in order to qualify for DT a member must have been active in the 72 hours before the unknown time that Theymos chooses to revise the list in the future.
I will periodically (maybe every month) be reconstructing the default trust list to include everyone who matches these criteria:
- You must have been online sometime within the last 3 days.
If a previous member of DT is excluded solely because of that "3 day" rule, then all their presumably valuable feedback becomes default invisible and their place in the interconnections that constitute DT qualifications now also vanishes.
Sometimes people take a short break from online life (maybe not often enough) without becoming inactive long term.
Tl,dr; Unless I have misunderstood, I think Theymos should consider changing that stipulation to something like
Probably a more meaningful measurement would be to require being online at least half of the days of the previous month rather than looking at a potential snapshot of just 3 days.
