People could totally come back. ☺️ I just feel like if they aren’t coming back why do we keep track of them.

As for the rest, it’s definitely a touchy discussion. Especially, when you start to put faces of friends (or actual family) to the folks that might fall outside of any parameters that could be set.

The bot makes things harder. I wonder if anyone would care about who is or isn’t a member and what they are posting about without the bot. When I think of it that way I wonder if there should be rules specific to the bot subscription vs. specific rules to membership.

Some of these people might see their delegations as a way to support a community in which they no longer actively participate.

And of course all of this is harder to discuss in disconnected steemit posts and replies than it would be to hammer out as a group in a room somewhere.

And on top of all of your questions about what criteria we might set, I also wonder who has the time to be post counter/quality enforcer.
