Automatic Temporary De-mod Inactive Mods

Speedrunning isn't a full time job for most. Many people speedrun a game once, maybe become a moderator for a smaller game, and then leave. Maybe they're bored. Maybe they just forget about it. But inactivity will happen regardless if you want to or not. This happens with many hobbies, not just speedrunning. It's impossible to force people to keep their interest.

The thread does not seek to let every game be moderated by an active moderator at all times because that is completely implausible. The thread lets those who need moderatorship to have it. If they stay in the long run, then it's succeeded. If not, then it still solves the issue until it becomes a problem again.

Okay, just so I understood this correctly, because it seems to make literally no sense at all: Let's say we have a Game XYZ, with 2 Moderators, who haven't logged in for 2 years, because they lost interest in speedruns and now some runners start running that game and submit runs. You suggest there should be a system, that kicks the 2 previous moderators, because they aren't verifying the runs. But how does that help? 2 - 2 = 0, so there wouldn't even be anyone who's responsibility would be to verify runs, because literally nobody has permission to do that. We'd still need the thread for one or more active runners to become the new moderators of our example Game. Also this thread went full circle at least 3 times, like I said it would, since my last post, I didn't read all of it tbh.

If it is an active game with those problems, then it is the responsibility of that game's community to choose moderators that will be active. Kicking moderators won't help if they are merely taking an extended break longer than the "inactive" period. If they ever wish to help again, they won't be able to.

Well, all their posts have been deleted, so I guess that's that.
