I also said we decided that is was better to just give it to all of them instead of weighing all their good and bad and deciding if that person deserves a template despite the fact no matter how you look at it, they are former staff here. Most of them, even if they left on bad terms, did good things here, and I find it a little disrespectful to the good done to ignore it because of how everything ended. Then rename the template and clearly state that the user was a former staff member here, not that they are "retired" because a good number of our staff were voted out and did not leave willingly. You are giving all the wrong signals with the template right now by it being called "Retired Staff", especially as -- in one case -- the template is utterly meaningless because the user in question disabled their account so can never be a staff member again on that account. I honestly don't know why you're so opposed to it Sajuuk. Who cares if they are labled "Retired" or "Former" staff? And regardless of your example of one user being ousted, CCC is right in saying that we should try to remember the good things they have done and not the bad. We should still encourage them to come back, maybe not as a staff member, but as a member of the community.
