This will not do anything.
The fundamental issue with what you're saying is that the choice being made is between inactive and active bns. The actual choice, like it or not, is inactive or no bns. Do you think that, if this rule were added, people like Kin and hikiko would magically make significantly more time for modding and nominating? No, they would just drop out of the bng instead, and that's minus 3 or 4 or whatever icons per month with no recompense. Having BNs does not stop other people from being BN so there isn't any point in kicking inactive ones even if they only bubble once or twice a month.
BN is a volunteer position. There is no reward for it other than bubble for bubble, to be completely frank. The only way to make a more active BNG, which will *never* happen because peppy hates the idea of rewarding people who keep his game alive, is to reward BNs in some meaningful way for maintaining activity. Being able to rank our own maps, supporter, badges, *something* that would make it feel useful to do this kind of thing.
Obviously won't happen tho rofl.
The only "solution" to this is on QATs: extreme leniency for highly active BNs, accepting many BNs each round rather than sitting behind high standards and claiming people are too bad to be BN, etc. These types of moves would basically keep the ranked section alive ad infinitum, given that having a consistently active BNG is a pipe dream. QATs need to recognize that high activity BNs should be given special treatment as they are the only ones who keep the game alive.
Whether or not QATs will do that, we don't know. But the current situation is pretty much untenable, the ranked section is just slowing down more and more as time goes on and nothing is gonna reverse that unless peppy himself does something.
