There would have to be a counter to this as well.

My system monitors inactivity as well, all admin set. So if a challenge remains un-responded to after X amount of days/hours, it is deleted (auto-forfeits do not bode well with players) Any unconfirmed match results, are always flagged, and addressed by the ladder staff.

The key issue is, as great a mod as this might be for many communities, it is not FOR every community. Ladders are time intensive and require high management skills, as well as a dedicated userbase.

Users can be fed up with a limited ladder very fast. I can only hope no one is considering using this on a live board anytime soon. It has great potential, and would only be hampered by people rushing into it too fast.
