I noticed that asdfsdfg was listed as NEW on the D list, so I went to the C list and he wasn't. It then dawned on me that he was inactive for awhile or something. I take it the welcome section for C/D lists is mostly made up of inactives that go active? I'd never noticed before.
It's the only real drawback to the B and D lists (not C and D). If someone earns a single point, not necessarily even in the category the list is covering, they are no longer "inactive." E.G.: asdfsdfg earned 9 points for the first time in something like 6 weeks, so poof goes back to active. He can then earn no points for the next four updates before he goes back to inactive on the fifth.
Debuts on the middle/upper C list are primarily from someone ranking in from Private. NEW in the lower end are usually from other people voting on "too many" blams (Saves list) or saves (Blams list), which easily knocks their percentage down enough to put them off the list.
