Rating reduction
Overall ratings are decreased each day by an amount depending on the current rating.

The following formula is used:
Rn = ( Ro * Ro ) / 125000
Rn is the new rating.
Ro the old (previous day) rating.

Rating	Amount subtracted
below 353	1
354-500	2
501-612	3
613-707	4
708-790	5
791-866	6
867-935	7
936-1000	8
So players with higher rating will see their rating decrease quicker.
A 500 rating will reach zero in approximately 1.5 years without playing.

In my opinion it is biased. There should be also rule of "saving minimum rating" for players with many games, for example:

A player who already have 2000 games can not have worse raning than 18 purely due to "consistently amount substracted"

By that way, the following sequence would be something about:

20 games - minimum to "2" rating punishment

200 games - minimum to "6" rating

2000 games - minimum to "18" rating

20 000 games (very difficult to reach) - minimum to "54" rating"

200 000 games (that amount of games in not practial, even for 15 years at short games like Gomku) - minimum "162" rating.

In the follolowing sequence the amount of games is increasing by "x10..." (from 20 to 200 000), meanwhile rating "x3..." (from 2 to 162)
