My personal compulsion is that I absolutely must fill the bar on any contact I take. I hate bars in the inactive list that can never be filled. Hate them.
The problem here is, any contact that's given to you automatically (CoH zone first contacts [Jim Temblor, Stephane Peebles, etc], CoV unlockable contacts) will still be put on your list if you talk to them while out of their level range. Even when doing their missions via Ouroboros. So I have to do them ASAP or never at all.
The worst, though, is that there's at least one low-level CoH contanct whose bar cannot be filled. He doesn't have enough missions to fill it. Fareed Abdullah.
Basically, the way I've decided to deal with this is to as few story arcs as possible via the actual contacts. Take as few contacts as possible. The less contacts I have, the less likely I'll screw up and end up with an unfilled bar. I do every single story arc via Ouroboros (unless it's an unlockable/auto contact I missed while leveling) on every character, and outside of zone contacts or patrons I don't do arcs outside of Ouroboros once I hit level 25.
