Obviously, if you can't get 5 in a row or whatever the amount is nowadays then you won't need to worry about it. It'd give people with that drive to battle & improve a little more motive to do so.

Same type of idea as tourneys.
Your battle will be set up, you have a deadline to meet. If you miss it then the flame's gone. If you're not active for awhile, tough shit, earn them again. People would probably bitch for a bit but once it was known & people got use to it, I think it'd work out.

ok.. so.
Firstly i've to ask, what is it about the flames and/or people having them that you don't like?
Secondly, ^^that IS forcing a member to do something, which can't be done. You can't demand someone battle, if not their going to be punished, which is ultimately what you're suggesting. "Battle or lose the flames, tough shit".
As for the battle arena not having as many top tier battlers, Thats due to a number of things, though mainly that online forum battling isn't as popular as it was years ago. That's the bottom line of it. So if someone faces five illiterate fucks, it's not Really their fault, unless they're doing a Bnas, that the competition isn't up to par. Then to suggest that due to there being a lack of good battlers, they then must be forced into a battle to retain their flames or lose them ie being punished due to lack of competition isn't really a strategy one would see working out for a site that wants to retain what little activity it still has.
