Board Thread:Consensus Track/@comment-4787430-20140222001935

This thread will be about the time frame of when to move staff members to the semi-active, inactive, and past staff lists.

This is my idea below, feel free to disagree, agree, or suggest other options:


 * Moved to semi-active list: 30 days inactivity (Keeps rights and coloration of name)
 * Moved to inactive list: 3 months inactivity (Keeps rights but removal of name coloration)
 * Moved to past staff list: 12 months inactivity, resignation, or termination via consensus (Removal of rights and name coloration)

This time table has all staff members in mind, however, it is quite difficult to know when a chat moderator is inactive, since there is currently no way to document that persons activity in chat. I suppose if and when we get a bot set up, that would be the means of documenting the activity of chat moderators. All we really have to go off of right now is the word of other chat moderators.

My next question: What if a member of staff has been inactive for over a year and then comes back. Should they be able to ask an admin to grant them their user rights back now that they have made a steady return, or should they go through a voting process again?
