NOTE: This is a draft, rules purposed here are not into effect, yet.

I think it's time to set some rules of for mods about inactivity. In the past, I have desyop admins for being inactive for few months (almost a year). But there wasn't really any rules addressing to this problem. Here are some I wrote up.

Administrator:
6 months of inactivity, rights will be taken.

If the admin returns within the next 3 months, they can ask for their rights back. If an admin announces a long period of inactivity, this may be extended.

Note: Admins need to be active. Six months should be enough time of inactivity. Rights may be returned by request in the next 3 months. After that, the user will have to reapply for administrator.

Short editing and lurking around the wiki, not doing anything, may count as inactivity. Admin may be receive warning of this, but the inactivity deadline may be extended due to circumstances.

Chat Mod:
3 months of inactivity, rights will be taken.

If the chat mod returns within the next 2 months, they can ask for their rights back. If the chat mod announces a long period of inactivity, this may be extended.

Note: Chat mods need to be active at a certain extent. If the chat mod is only in chat for very small periods and rarely appear, this may count as inactivity. As same the admin, the chat mod can ask for their rights back within the 2 month period.
