Going back to my original point, I just am not at all comfortable with making business a social stigma around here. Put up a deadline of posting days in your sign-up topic- say how long the grace period is, and if they miss the grace period, send them an e-mail asking them why. If they don't respond to that, write them out of the story. Don't make this a huge all-member inclusive thing. It should be between the founder and the player- it's no one else's business.
