I think the bigger thing is assuming that if someone hasn't responded in X time, they've abandoned the roleplay and thus the character should die. Unless the posting is hyperactive, this is just going to be killing characters and needing random promotion explanations.

I guess if someone repeatedly failed to respond to mentions and quotes that they [i]really should post[/i] it makes sense, but unless the IC is moving like lightning... a hard limit seems weird.

It's not a question of their intention, but of keeping the rp going.  Yes, it does suck if something happens to someone and they really are kept away for an intermediate amount of time, but letting the rp lag causes problems for other people.  

Okay, I'll give you that.  I didn't think of the random promotion thing.  The other rp I keep refering to is a One Piece and its easy in that one because our characters keep going to different areas so meeting new people isn't a problem, but in Bleach it is a bit different. 

Either way is going to causes problems.  It's all just a matter of picking your poison, I guess.
