May I suggest a bit of a compromise here? Inactive staff can be demoted but if they didn’t formally resign and their staff “expired” they get set back to TMod for a short probationary period if Mod or greater, and for those underneath, a short probationary period at their rank to ensure they’re making an effort to keep up/learn the rule changes since they’d left, if they do abuse or make no effort to contribute then don’t reinstate. 

This is something like what I was thinking as well, but the odds/effort that dink would put into demoting people down to tmod is obviously 0, and it looks like a couple admins have already been shut down by him unfortunately. It was just a cool thought to put out

The case with that is different than inactivity though, so that isn't a valid argument against its removal

With regards to this, this is why i said i'm not sure all the details too, i figured there was prob something more there
