A non-player should not be under obligation to pay attention to any forum. Adding penalties that require action (to avoid accumulating more penalties) create this requirement for a non-player. Exile/stasis doesn't require action, nor do markers should we have them in the future (e.g. "the ninny is awarded one loser token; a person with a loser token can't win and the only way to get rid of it is to become a player again and apologize").
