I would say if a person isn't online for 30 days, they are declared inactive. People still members of that town who are higher up in the ranks etc. can maybe pe for mayorship of the town with an inactive mayor.
The active people of the server can take the loot from the people who go inactive. People need a reason to stay active, I would hope losing their stuff would be one.
You type /town name, look at the members, and do /who to see when they were on, doesn't seem that hard to me. We should always try to push for incentivizing activity, I'm not sure why this is facepalm worthy
Well the players can take it upon themselves if they are interested and bring it to an admins' attention. I'm not saying we need an admin to constantly review if towns are active, I'm saying if a player notices that a town is inactive they can bring it to someone's attention.
The only one acting childish is you, the rating system is there for a reason, people have a right to their opinion and calling people out for face palming is immature. I facepalm this because this whole post does not make sense and has a lot of flaws and you literally said you want it for loot so kind of a lame reason to waste staff time.
@Irishman81 I was just curious about your reasoning, nothing more.
For me, HC is a casually-played game (less played with the nation war debacle, sadly), and I appreciate that my townsfolks can be away for a bit (as real life sometimes dictates with family, work, school, and stuff) and that they 1) count towards the town size (so I don't lose chunks), and 2) they know that their town will still be there in the unlikely event that all of us are away for an extended period of time....
I guess I am missing how a positive punisher (if you don't log in for 30 days, your town is going to get decommissioned) encourages the kind of participation that really creates veteran players who will stick around. Positive reinforcement definitely is the way to go, especially with the age of HC's target population. (See B.F. Skinner's operant conditioning for more on positive/negative punisher/reinforcers). I suggest that HC stay a place of reward for participation rather than punishing those who are away for a while.

I like your austr@li@n accent fam
We have weekend war, just go loot the inactive towns during this time. Makes the most sense if you ask me. Otherwise if they have the money to keep going, and they are still keeping up with it, then it shouldn't go down. I get that you want all the sweet loots of those inactive towns but every week or two weeks it's still easy enough to access. Get some TNT, if you really need to, make a legit TNT cannon, and nuke the fuckers to get their shit. Pretty cut and dry. This is a win-win because if they return the town still exists, although you still get the loot.
