I like the new activity guidelines. They don't require any more volume than the existing guidelines and they would encourage people to tag out/spread out their CR, if only a little bit -- and it does so without upping the actual number of comments, with the exception of those who choose to stick to comments rather than post.

Just to clarify, I'm assuming that all of the comment counts are still the total number of comments between both/all characters involved in the thread, not just the character belonging to the player in question?
