Maybe, those temporarily inactive should be labelled so on the staff page or listed somewhere else. Thoughts guys?}}

{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=15:26, 10 August 2014 (UTC)|text=No, we didn't. I checked the logs last night when Xion announced her temporary inactivity on the IRC. According to the decision Friday, they both lose their rights immediately. I think that should be changed to retaining rights if the inactivity is temporary or definite. If it's indefinite inactivity that they know will end, but aren't sure when, they they can have their rights removed. I don't know, what do you think?}}

{{Chainoffire|time={{User:Chainoffire/sig}} 03:36, 11 August 2014 (UTC)|xemnas=perhaps we can differentiate between some terms:
*'''Declared Retirement''': A user leaves and has the intention to never return with notice. (Regardless of the fact that they actually may or may not return.) This user should not be contact for wiki matters. This user should have their rights removed. If they return, they can get their rights back instantly with no probation period. Their staff icon will be moved to the retired page. (ex. KrytenKoro)
*'''Declared Temporary Retirement''': A user leaves for an extended period of time with notice and has the possibility to return, but also has the possibility of never returning. This user should not be contacted for wiki matters unless they declare their return. This user should not have their rights removed after <font color=red>(6?)</font> months of inactivity, but only after the user has been notified and questioned about their intentions to remain active or retire. If they return, they can get their rights back instantly with no probation period. Their staff icon will <font color=red>???</font>. (ex. Erry)
*'''Declared Inactivity''': A user leaves for an extended period of time with notice and has full intention to return. This user can be contacted for wiki matters unless otherwise stated by the user himself/herself. This user should not have their rights removed unless they remain inactive <font color=red>(2?)</font> months after their given period of time. If no period of time is given, the user will be asked about their intentions of activity and my fall under the "undeclared inactivity" category. If they return, they can get their rights back instantly with no probation period. Their staff icon will remain on the active staff page. (ex. Xion4Ever)
*'''Undeclared Inactivity''': A user leaves for an extended period of time without notice or declares inactivity and does not return. This user should be stripped of their rights after <font color=red>(4?)</font> months of inactivity, but only after the user has been notified and questioned about their intentions to remain active or retire. If they return, they shall receive a probation period, where he/she must prove that they are still worthy of holding their powers once more. Their staff icon will be moved to the retired page until after they return and are granted their powers once more. (ex. Troisnyxetienne)
It is encouraged that the users that fall under the first 3 categories put a notice on their userpage/talkpage, but it is not required so long as the community knows.
Things that need be worked out are in red.}}
