I know some users have worked hard to achieve this and therefore it should not be taken away from them. There is no need to push people into being active, plus most administrators here are adults, which means that they have less free time and more responsibilities in real life. Sonic Fanon Wiki is a place to have fun, there is no need for such stringent rules concerning adminship. This is my thesis. Being an admin isn't an award a user earns, it is a responsibility, they don't earn adminship, they are given it because they have shown the ability to help improve the wiki and that as an admin are to help make the wiki a better place and uphold the rules. If they can't participate in the wiki for an extended amount of time, they are' not making the wiki a better place and upholding the rules.

There is also a difference between being an adult and having to commit to a job or relationship over disappearing without a trace or care, and the rule allows the admin to stay off the wiki longer if they at least tell administration they'll be gone, the admin doesn't have to explain and be in depth with something extremely personal or come up with some excuse, they can just say hey guys I'll be inactive.

Also, how is making one contribution a month stringent? I think that's fair. I think they should have a reason as to why they're inactive without going too deep or just saying,"I'll be inactive for a bit". I also don't think its necessary though at points could prove useful.
