Imo, it depends on how long they served. If they served for 3 days then got demoted for abuse, then no they shouldn't. If they served for a year, and was a good mod, then sure they deserve credit.

 

there should be a forums rank/tag called ex-moderator or retired mod

 

Then imo you wouldn't get a rank.

 

Wasn't demoted
Thank you though, means a lot.

Now, for my say in this. I never expected, when applying for mod to gain a rank upgrade, or any other special tag, besides the "Mod" tag. Yet, with saying that, a forum tag would allow people to know and recognise people whom have previously/still are a moderator. Maybe make the tag come alongside the trophy you gain when getting the rank?

Two perfectly acceptable tags right there.

I also want to add, maybe since the commotion about mods only being there for a short time, make it a chosen rank, by the mods themselves? Or even just the head-mods.

 

Support

 

Such as many mods getting demoted for inactivity? That doesn't make them a bad mod, not at all.

 

I was demoted for no other reason other than the fact that one mod didn't like me. Does that mean my work on here would go unrecognized?

Edit: this person wasn't even a head mod.

Anyways, neutral.

 

Rest in pieces <3

Exactly.

I guess if this were to be implemented, there would have to be some sort of confirmation, from the higher up mods (Head-mods). This would also have to go into more discussion, especially with Pile and Cyp.

 

What's your point exactly? You lost me?

 

Tags yes. Rank maybe, that's a maybe.

 

They may have been demoted, but they still helped out or tried to help out. Helping the server in anyway shows something.

 

That is true, maybe... hmm I am not sure what to say. Maybe what @Valor said.

 

Neutral, reasons stated above.

 

I don't think a free rank on the server but maybe a "Retired Staff" rank on the forums for those who resign only.
