Terminology

[Yan]

Which adjective best describes "something that needs to be maintained regularly otherwise it's perishing"?

[NIKOLIĆ]

High-maintenance?

[reineke]

French? Russian?

[Steve]

unsustainable?

[Expugnator]

Decayable ??!!

[Yan]

For example an achievement in a leaderboard. A user will need to maintain it otherwise it will be replaced by another user's achievement. I couldn't really come up with a good adjective to describe it. Perishable / decaying... don't sound right.

[reineke]

If the stats do not reflect a static number, they may fluctuate, fall, deteriorate. Your score may also be vulnerable...I don't see the need here to force a particular word form but it's a good mind exercise. Please povide a sentence.

[Yan]

Ha, yeah... I am not really using it much in sentence at this point. Coming from technical / software development background, I need to use it as a class / entity name. I need a concise self-descriptive word to represent the class functionality.
