Maybe 2 1/2 weeks - a month would probably be better.

For what reason should someone disappear for 2 weeks without any warning?

It's not that hard to make an away/offline post stating why you'll be gone and how long, instead of dissappearing.

Family Emergency, Losing Power, Getting Grounded, He/She is in the hospital, I can go on forever.

Which is when the case of making a demote appeal comes into play.

Definately, too many people with some never playing in weeks clogging up the slots for active people.

Ehh.. I disagree. I hate that this mindset that has emerged from NTG..

Inactive staff are not hurting any possibilities at active staff being promoted.  There is NO set limit on how many of each staff there can be, demoting inactive staff doesn't really contribute to the server in any way, especially if that inactive staff member actually did good at it. I'm not against demoting inactive people, but I'm also not against someone that goes inactive, but did good at their position keeping their rank.

I understand maybe using this as an incentive to try and keep staff active though.(although it may add more stress somehow)
