Don't take this the wrong way, but I've never agreed that people that resign from their position should be able to "unresign" regardless of if they still had the rank post resignation because it wasn't removed immediately or their involvement in helping post resignation. And with that, I feel that should apply here too.

I've always firmly believed that if you resign, the intention is to remove the rank from you, and hence should be something you work towards again if you come back and are ready to staff officially again. In this case, yes I believe if you want staff again Nicol, start from scratch. Prove you will stick around and start at a lower rank. I've seen people come back asking for admin and get told no and disappear again, only because they wanted the title/power associated with the rank. Not saying Nicol would do this, but its always a thought in my mind considering situations I won't disclose here from the past during my tenure as staff and admin.

My other thought is this, those that do stick around after admins resign, those mods that would have a fair shot at becoming admin, how is that fair to them? They work hard to show they can handle a position, just to have someone say they want their rank back and potentially get it back? You lose out on other capable people with potential, which honestly causes some people in that position to stop caring.

I just want to throw another perspective into this as these are things people dont think of unless they witness it first hand.
