Right now I don´t exactly know myself how to accurately handle the 4 weeks duration. i´m very much open for suggestions. Guess I´ll start targeting the Newbies who have not posted at all.
Plus, this rule will only affect Newbies anyway. After more than 10 posts users are no longer Newbies. Hence a user who posted 12 times and then leaves for some weeks/months can always come back.
It´s just something I want people to be aware of: We do not need another hundred persons who just want to get information and all. We want and need new people who are ready, willing and able to contribute. Those Newbies who do will stay, the read-only-Newbies will go.
At least that´s the idea.

btw: Started the cleaning with the December 2008 Newbies who did not post at least once. Makes some 20 or so less users in total. Tomorrow I´ll look for those zero Newbies who got activated between January 1st and 10th.
