I agree with a lot that has been said above so I will just make a small contribution to this debate.

If a staff members has personal (RL) problems that they need to deal with that stop them from being active in the sandbox and accomplishing their assigned job, they can ask for some time away. Be it stress, work/school related, family/friend related, happyness, etc. All those are valid excuses to take some time off. But, like Humble did, said staff member needs to inform at the very least one of the admins so the community can know if they are taking time off or have just gone inactive. You don't need to relinquish your position if you are only going to be gone for a small amount of time, like a month or two, but if it is unknown how long said staff member will be away of if it is longer, then it is better to relinquish their position so it can be filled by someone that can fill it. Like Humble, said staff member can even get their position back when they relinquish it. If said staff member jsut stops doing their job without an explanation then all we can do is assume they have gone inactive.
