Yeah, I have some questions for Kagi. How would you feel if someone put a inactive template on your userpage? And what if when the user comes back from inactivity, he takes forever to remember to check his user page and the template stays up for weeks after he comes back? And why bring it up again after it had only been a month after the discussion closed? I mean, after I lost the votes for coverage on Super Smash Bros. characters, I was planning to wait until 2014 before discussing a revote. I took the loss well, even though I was really freaking out. My own fears of losing them led up to my first block on Wikia. In the end, thanks to Bullet letting me keep the articles in my userspace instead of deleting them permanently, I felt a lot better. Okay, maybe I'm not taking it as well as we thought, since I'm talking about it on a forum about inactivity. Anyway, I still think a month is too early for a revote. And as Bullet described, it isn't punishment. It is temporary. We're doing it so that people don't ask an inactive person for help when they wouldn't respond.
