When he joined the wiki, he was apparently in mandatory military service. However, when he was re-evaluated, we were made aware that he made the choice to enter the military outside the mandatory timescale. He isn't an honoured editor in any way, not when you physically make the choice to leave the site.

The template of Honoured Editor should be purely for editors who have had no choice but to leave, such as death or health issues. Users who willingly leave for any reason should not be treated in this way. I can very faintly remember a blog from maybe 2-3 months ago from a User who lives in Yemen or Oman. Said user announced that he was leaving the wiki for an undefined amount of time due to his government declaring war on ISIS - and him being a reservist.

I highly believe that this user deserves to become a Honored editor.

I've researched a bit, and the user in question is NOTATHALMORSPY. This  is the earlier mentioned blog. Though, judging from the contributions, he still seems to be active. If we're going to honor Notathalmorspy, we should honor Zluchs too. People join the military to serve and defend their country; they know that there is always a chance they can't return, and if it keeps them away from editing they should be recognized.
