I like do debate, but when a discussion is over, its over. Therefore I leave the census-discussion and I move on. I had two proposals that I find to be rather nice. I do not expect them to be integrally copied and thus instaured, on the contrary, esspecialy the second (and most important) could use some more brainstorming. Storm away!

I am rather new to the SVR and it's the forum, though maybe you'll appreciate an objective oppinion from someone who is in the most an outstander (for little time to come). And eventhough I haven't been that serious these last days, I assure you, I am now.
There is truth in both oppinions. You cannot have a "dead" community, nor can you go about deleting people every census. I do see that our censores are rightuous people, and the methods of the "republic" are good. But maybe, in order that we don't come across (let me stress that, I won't be turning words nor be sarcastic) as pejoratic, maybe we should give the meassures more alignment.
Our dear friend Lupus has scetched the procedure welly. There is a large period of different stadia (with several warnings) before one gets deleted. I am quite a romantic person, and by that I mean in an intellectual way.
So I propose to give it a bit more "historic clothing" (inkleding) and open a graveyard for those who cease activity due to a lack of interest and assure -ase was stated by Lupus- the censores that we should "stop bugging them". It wouldn't create a large space on the server, for there are a lot of statistics the SVR doesn't need on them. The graveyard would just be a listing of romanized names and whatever was kept in the dead-listings of ancient Roma.
Secondly, I prupose a list for people who are to busy with primary needs (housing, jobs, death, sickness, ...) and don't have time for hobbies or exentric lifestyles, but want to resume activity when they are setteld. We could say they are abroad, on a study trip, a hospitialist, for thosre who have officially left the protection of the pólis of Roma. They would of course be pronounced dead, if chances of return aren't possible.
Having just passed the age of Ephebe, I don't proclame any wisdom. Though I hope this enlightens the clash of oppinions.

summeriesed;
a propose a better alignement of the census-consequenses:
GRAVEYEARD: a list of members that explicitly quit
HOSPITIUM: (WORKINGTITLE!!) for members who have problems irl, that prohibit them to do some intellectual fun
so, what's ya thinkin?
