If you've been active in challenges you've probably seen them. Those folks who are so competitive that they'll put off syncing for days just to surprise everyone last minute and win the challenge. For instance:
Bill is in a Workweek Hustle challenge with Heidi. It's Thursday morning and Bill is 3,000 steps behind Heidi. Bill disables syncing on his phone and computer and goes for a 3 mile run. Now he's ahead of Heidi; he continues to jot down his steps at the end of Thursday to know his real step count. Throughout Friday he continues to monitor Heidi's steps who is regularly syncing; he knows he's ahead but refuses to sync (so Heidi is not alerted that she's lost the lead and has an opportunity to respond). Then five minutes before midnight on Friday night, he finally syncs and finishes ahead of Heidi.
So the feature request is to automatically boot someone from the challenge if they haven't synced in a specified time (say 24 hours) with some caveats:
- They can still participate in the chat (much like folks who have been invited, but have not yet accepted).
- They can be re-invited to the challenge after they sync. I understand that things happen (like a camping trip) that prevent you from syncing, but it should be the option of folks in the challenge to allow you back in.
Hopefully, knowing that they can be booted will prevent (or minimize) this kind of behavior.
