As someone who was eventually demoted from head mod, mainly due to quitting, i kinda get not wanting to lose your rank for being inactive. Maybe you come back some time later and still want to mod, but if you've been inactive/left the server for over a year, then do you really think it still makes sense to be a moderator for a community you left a long time ago? Over time, the community changes, old players leave and new players come. Over the 6 1/2 years ive been gone, only one or two of the old community still plays on the server. When I came back on the server, nobody knew who I was. Imagine, had I still had the "head mod" rank, how confused people, regulars/mods/admins, would be to see some random person they've never seen on the server before have the "head mod" rank. Bryanbrr thinks that inactive mods coming back after years wouldn't try staffing, but chances are, had I still had my rank, I would have tried staffing, even with the new rules, though its not like the games' radically changed over the years. Demoting inactive staff is just a way of cleaning house, making sure only the active staff stay staff. Being demoted after leaving the server for longer than a year shouldn't be surprising. The community changes, not even the dragon balls last forever.
