Hey Genesjs

There is something I have been wondering lately. If a high-ranking user eventually decides to retire, then his rights are eventually revoked since he will no longer be able to make use of them. However, if a high-ranking user decides to return, then would it really be necessary for him to go through all those procedures with voting at the discussions and proving his worth to re-earn his rights? I mean, if such a user has done nothing to discredit himself and only lost his rights because he decided to take a leave of absence, then it would mean his skills and reputation are the same as when he got his original rights, meaning those procedures he would have to go through would be meaningless.

In short, I am wondering if a returning user can get his rights back if he just lost them due to retirement or a prolonged absence. I am just wondering that for myself; there will surely come a time where I wont have as much time as I have now with SNN, and I would most likely loose my rights. I would thus hate to start over in chase I find the time to return, yet be restricted by the rights as a regular user when I know I skill have the qualities that made me a b-krat.

What do you think?
