The only real issue with the IC activity meter is it doesn't necessarily count for, say, being held up by others or having a character who won't participate in something like the 'Forest Run'.

If a player has enough of an IC reason to not post as a character for over a month, that character will be given the Italicized Underlined status, and the player in question would still be active if they were posting as a different character. But for the sake of clarity, it doesn't make sense to accommodate reasons such as those as a justification to not mark a character as Inactive when they haven't been in the IC for a month. That is the singular purpose of the list; activity and inactivity.

As for being held up by others, nobody is safe. As I mentioned under the list itself, I'll include the GM and CoGMs in a state of inactivity if when I go to update it we haven't posted in over a month.
