Admin Inactivity: I've been swayed over the years to go from Admin-Permissions-For-Life to Admin-Status-For-Life. In my mind, once an Admin, always an Admin, but if someone is inactive for a period we temporarily remove them from the active list and remove their powers so that general visitors don't ask them questions on their wall which won't be seen, etc. This is obviously a poor user experience. Unless someone can present good reasons to the contrary, I believe we should always grant full Admin permissions to any alumni which returns to the community.

In my mind, the only thing up for debate is the thresholds of activity which trigger a status change, as Spencerz indicates. I propose the following:

Inactivity Threshold:
 * 6 consecutive months with 0 edits OR less than 100 total edits in the past 12 months.

Reactivation Threshold:
 * 100+ edits 3 consecutive months (300 edits total) OR by specific request by Alumni who explicitly indicates they desire to officially return
