Coolio.

Mildly conservative but it’s very tepid

Also mild. I’d want to see some numbers for “Players who go idle for 4+ days rarely go unidle in the next three days” - my sense as an admin is that this isn’t as true as it used to be, now that the Mentor system is keeping new players on track.

I’ve certainly seen players reach 6 days and then vote the next day, when keeping an eye on player activity - although some of that could be the player being motivated by the fact they were about to time out. I’ve less sense of whether players who idle for 4 days wake up on the 5th, because those players have much less reason to be on my radar.

(To record some anecdotal data here: Lemon has just returned and voted after 4 days absence; Jumble is currently 4 days idle; Utina 5.)

So I don’t idle out.

There’s little harm in trying this for a few weeks.
