I personally always welcome constructive criticism when it comes to how I administrate. I know that I'm not perfect and like all administrators in every community I do make mistakes. I've clearly made the mistake of not being an active staff member in the past and was demoted because of that. This time round I am committed to not making that same mistake twice.
Now, I'm not going to sit here and defend the admin team just because I'm on that same team. Yes, we do have issues when it comes to activity, there's no other way about it. Some administrators may have taken a break from Fearless or even Garry's Mod in total. This could be because of a variety of different reasons, whether it be finding an interest in a new game, college, school, or work. Obviously school, college, and work come before Fearless and this has been said more than enough times in this thread.
During the summer holidays staff activity was at a very high level. This being because of the more hours during the week in which staff members could spend on the servers, but now that school has begun there has been a large drop in players during the late hours. Some administrators have also had to decrease their server administrative availability as can be expected.
The problem is when two of the above issues combine. Being busy with school or college and also being interested in another game means you will clearly have no activity on Fearless. This doesn't mean you should immediately resign or be demoted. After all, we've all taken our breaks from Garry's Mod in the past and have come back, it's common when like, most administrators, you've spent 1000-2000 hours playing on one server. But when it comes to the point where you have shown very little or even no interest in the servers in weeks or even months then maybe it is time you call it quits. But this isn't an easy thing to do as all administrators have worked hard (some more than others) to get a staff position. That's probably why I didn't resign when I became inactive first time around. I was afraid that I would never get another shot at being on the team.
The best thing for you to do if you have concerns about staff activity is to contact either the administrator directly or contact Soul. Let them know that you'd like to see them on the server more. If you do so in a respectable manner then I'm sure the administrator will let you know why they haven't been as active. Calling administrators out in public isn't exactly the the best way about it.
I've tried to make this post as unbiased as I possibly can and if you do have any constructive criticism about how I administrate or my activity then please let me know!
NOTE: This is purely my opinion on this matter. I'm not in a position to call administrators out on their activity as this is a job for the higher-ups.
