WA, and there lies the crux of the matter: many people see the deductions as beneficial, not penalties, so a position isn't falsely maintained during a sustained absence. A week or two's grace might be offset a lot of the contention.
You wouldn't expect a football team towards the top of a league to opt of their matches for a few weeks and still maintain their position? That's a game too.

Morning all I had a fabulous weekend out of grid and off grid... yoga/run retreat in Scotland. It was wonderful. Think I may have pneumonia though as I spent the whole weekend soaking wet playing out in the rain.
My game for the week is done.
Huge well done to Pam and Snail what a game! And well done to Bazo and Em for reaching semi finals you had 2 tough opponents. Good luck for the finals I’ll pull up a pew.

I've voted for 1. I think it's a good idea, a more primitive version of the handicap erosion applied by RunBritain Rankings.
Having said (wrote) that, I'm relaxed either way. It's just a game.

Good points flanker. I guess from my experience I took breaks when life got in the way and when the game was in danger of taking over everything else.
I think if I'd lost points for taking a break, I would have found that really challenging!

I was annihilated by Pimlico this week - I can't compete with someone running, walking and cycling when it's my week off and all I want to do is eat chocolate biscuits...
Taken a week off this week. I agree that my ranking should slide a little for this. This would also granularise the rankings overall and stop the vast majority of it being spread out 12 points apart all the time.

Well played Mag, I was tempted to get out this morning but the gap was a bit too great and then a couple of squalls blew in so well done.
