I agree, 30 days should be considered a minimum. I don't know it if could
be put into the primenet server, but could a 'trust' setting be put in?
Maybe for the first 15 days a new person has an exponent, they should be
limited to a max of 30 days with it. This could be set into the software,
just so any people who join then immediatly quit don't chug up the system.
Also, maybe the smallest components could be given to people with a high
'trust' rating, so we think they will get done. Obviously, anyone could
fiddle their trust rating, I don't think it is worth getting too advanced,
just stick in the first started date in the .ini file, don't put too much
into it...
