Admin rights aren't a medal for people to swing around like "Hey, look what I accomplished." It is simple a flag that demonstrates what tools the user has, like the other staff flags. If a user isn't using their tools then it serves no point for them to keep the rights. The reason to remove rights is because we can then focus on new admins and new people to nominate as admins. If we keep a bunch of inactive users as admins we tend not to nominate new users for the rights because it seems we have enough admins. However on closer inspection we only have like 3 active admins instead of 8 or 9 admins.

Before Ghost Anubis the last nomination was in November 2013.
