As soon as you build an idiot proof system, somebody else builds a better idiot.

If it moves, kill it. If it doesn't move, kick it until it does move, and then kill it.

You only drop in position if people around you achieve lower rank totals than you whislt you are away.
Since the rank system is based on the total of all your ranks, if soemone achieves a lower total, they will over take you, until then, you remain where you are.

Also, surely this is possible?
If 2 people have the same total rank shouldn't they be of equal rank?

This was explained before by Ghosty... anyway, when you are in vacation mode you are removed from the ranking system and ranks move around you, soooo rather than have you disapear you remain in "10th" and when you return from vacation mode you enter the ranking system again and will be updated as required...

Basically, in vacation mode your rank is ignored until you return...

This is how I understood it and I'm sure I will be corrected if I am wrong
