I'm just going to copy and paste what I sent to Ryukama last night

I'm going to bring this up to you before everybody else pesters you with this: Crabwhale and KingPin think that it's high time for a couple demotions, specifically for MaxwelFISH and Julian, and, honestly... I have to agree with them. Let me go a bit deeper,

Case 1: MaxwelFISH has seen a significantly lower amount of activity since April 2017 (https://joke-battles.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:29714), so has (obviously) not made that many contributions to the wiki since then. While he doesn't have a very major staff role on the wiki, that role hasn't really been of any good use to anybody due to his inactivity, so it doesn't really make much sense to keep his as a Content Moderator. I also think we should demote him so we can have "more open spaces" (in a sense) in case anybody else seems fit for position; if he ever comes back, you could just give him back the role. Next,

Case 2: Super Saiyan God Julian has apparently been completely inactive since July 14, 2018 (https://joke-battles.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Super_Saiyan_God_Julian), and hasn't even responded to any recent posts on his wall (https://joke-battles.fandom.com/wiki/Message_Wall:Super_Saiyan_God_Julian). While the amount of time he's been inactive doesn't really seem like that much (depend on how you interpret that, cause it's been more than half a year), it's impact is amplified by the fact that he's an admin. I feel that it's almost necessary to demote him, due to the power his account wields; we don't know what happened to him, if he lost his password, if he lost interest completely, if something worse happened to him... but we do know that the account is still active (in the sense that FANDOM hasn't disabled it or something). This could present a liability to the wiki if, worst case scenario, his account gets hacked, and anybody else with access to his account could leave the wiki in shambles (or, at least, in a really inconvenient to fix state).

I know you want to give these people a chance of keeping their rights if they ever come back (like what you did with me), but we also wouldn't want anything bad happening with the wiki in case their accounts get compromised. There's also the (albeit very minor) issue that other people might see the presence of these inactive staff members in a bad way, either by criticizing the wiki's "professionalism", or by other ways i swear i had another reason i wanted to say here but i completely forgot. If they ever come back, we can always give them a second chance at being a staff member, but while they're gone, their role doesn't serve anybody any good.
