Why does the server reset monthly?

• Resetting each month means everyone is brought back down to level 0. People won't spam messages just to get exp because it's meaningless. The leaderboard is there to track activity but it would be unfair for new users if long-term users were always at the top. Resetting allows new users to "compete" so they don't feel outcasted.

• The system was introduced in the server to allow people to have a variety of colored roles. Having colors based on activity is a fair way to implement the idea. Each month community members can create their own palettes and the server gets a new paint job.

• To prevent lurkers around the server, resetting allows us to remove roles from people in a fair way. People who aren't active in the server won't have access to the channels. There are other technical reasons why this is nice, such as no accidental @ pings.
