Just my thoughts as a previous ES Member that had been removed due to inactivity lol. It might be good to give a set period of time (one month for example) for members that announced their inactivity to get back to the game. After said period of time, if the ES Member has not shown any activity, the ES Lead can ask them personally whether they want to continue, or what is holding them back from being active. If the ES Member says they don’t want to continue then the lead can simply remove them. But, if they still show signs of passion to continue and is just hindered by personal things, the ES lead can perhaps extend their inactivity time, and see where things go from there. For me personally, after the first few months of hosting, I just became burnt out and had a lot of things in my personal life that made it hard for me to host events or even play the game. I mentioned my inactivity to Melrose, the ES lead at that time and I think the period of allowed inactivity is too long and that it made it seem that an ES Spot is being taken without any reason. If Melrose had personally asked me if I would like to genuinely continue being an ES, I would probably immediately say no, as there’s too many things going on in my personal life, and I just wasn’t very motivated to host nor even play the game at that time. So yeah, it might be best to just directly ask the inactive members after a period of time whether they genuinely want to continue, or if they want to no longer be an ES member, rather than just being labeled as an inactive ES member.
Anyways, sorry for the poorly formatted post. I wrote this during class lol
