And that's only because he needs to have that to edit/post in a certain topic in News, and because he has to give his special qualification to contests. He's not a part of the staff. And I wasn't talking about the active part in terms of Ab-Z, I meant in general, because you mentioned it in your post. And I'm pretty sure the definition is if you're not active in a month or so.
Oh, my mistake then, I thought we were talking about Ab-Z here. Although I still question the definition of Active, I'll give you an example, let's say someone gets nominated for December because they more then Qualify, the votes all come from those who remember how active that someone was during October and half of November. Yet that someone is unable to make a single post from the middle of November to the end of December, the voting finishes on New years eve and he's won, according to the votes, so does that mean he really doesn't win because of an interpratation of a vague rule?
