We have probably 5-10x as many lazy leechers as we do normal members, contribs, donators, and active users combined.
However, they are in the leecher group for different reasons.
Some may have joined for a month or so, and leeched for a bit ( who didn't leech their first few weeks? Checked things out, ya know )
Some have been here for years and continue to leech material.
my suggestion is for members that have been here for more than 2 months and have <5 rep should need to get more than 5 rep to get out of the group.
For example:
Member A has been here for a month, has 3 rep. Is a lazy leecher. Needs 2 rep to get out, sounds fair.
Member B has been here for a year and a half. Has 3 rep. Is in the lazy leecher group. Needs 7 rep to get out of the group. Sounds fair to me.
A lot of people are busting their ass off trying to post helpful or encouraging comments, to get out of the group, while others ( like the year old leechers ) are just literally reposting their material and getting out of the leecher tag.
Something scaled, like after 1 month, you need 1 more rep per month or something.
So you've been here 12 months, you need 12 rep to take off the tag. not a hard task...
I know this is probably scripturally impossible, but just an idea.
