Missing mods

Just for laughs (and because I didn't need to take a dump) I started looking at mod profiles. Before I even made it through the "C's" I found mods that haven't posted in some time..
A - C July 18 (last post), January 16 (last post), April 14 (last seen)... then on to the other letters...
D - M July 19, 2011 (last post), October 7, 2012 (last seen), April 25 (last post),... done with the "M's"
N - S March 29 (last post), July 24 (last post), July 16 (last seen), June 22 (last seen), June 16 (last post)... done with the "S's"
T - Z Hooray!
I know that "last post" doesn't mean they haven't been here, but just out of curiosity what point is served by having mods that do not mod or do not interact with the community?
I mean really... not seen in 4 - 6 months and in 1 case not seen for a year?

It is traditional to let Mods have extended leaves of absence. Shit happens to anyone.
But I can see how this can be a problem, especially if a user tries to PM an absent Mod about something important.
Feel free to name names. It is worth discussing. Especially if forums are under moderated because of absent Mods.

Really though Luvdem, feel free to name names. I do not have the best ability to search this stuff right now because my Internet is out and I must use my phone.

I haven't had any problem.
I asked "but just out of curiosity what point is served by having mods that do not mod or do not interact with the community?"
It struck me as odd that there were so many and that some of the time spans were so long.

I have been doing some digging as well.
It seems you have a point and I will raise it with the Staff.
I know we have given honorary Modships in the past. Chinacat remained a Mod for years after his last post, but that was just because the Staff thought he deserved it in spite of being absent. Plus we knew he had health issues and wanted him to know the door was open for him when he recovered if he so chose.
Sometimes Mods go on long ass trips to say... Antarctica. But they let the Staff know in advance.
But yeah, from the sample I have taken, it is surprising how true your words ring.

I really can't often tell the difference between the mods that do post and those that don't. Neither seem (with some notable exceptions) to actually be doing much moderating.

I recently got a PM from the mod whose last post was 1/16, she mentioned that she's been traveling and notified the staff of her extended absence. That one should come back, smart chick for sure. I'd probably end up hippie bashing though, I can't help myself, I'm a cranky old man already.

CureCat is on extended leave. Permission was granted.
Magash is easily contacted. He may just have grandfather Mod status here. I really do not know.

I always tried to moderate with no bias towards anyone!!!1 and I always tried to be fair and treat everyone with respect and kindness. And I hope that I will be remembered for that.

In the end, only kindness matters!!!1
