Allow me to express thoughts on it.
You and me tied when the voting ended.(technically I had one more because someone forgot to lock the poll as per the ending date and someone voted for me after the ending date, but that doesnt count obviously) The members decided we should have a build off. But, what did that accomplish? Just because one of us is a better MOCer than the other, doesnt mean we would be better at moderating a forum. So IMO, we should both have become moderators. But instead, Dutch decided that we would do the build off, and he asked for us to agree to the buildoff times. You did not respond as you were gone for a few days. I believe this was taken into account as, "you are not active enough here because you could not agree to this time" and so hence I became a moderator. Then you dissapered, further compelling and causing you to lose your honored status.
ON the contrary, Striker became inactive, and created a new account. He returned to honored status. So I do feel that, although you were inactive twice now, that returning you to honored is only fair. The community felt you were eually as worthy as me to become a moderator, and as such should retain that level of respect. However I do doubt that you shall become a moderator without another election against the other honored members(give the new honoreds a chance obviously) as it was the second time you left the site and it was a petty reason to do so. Just because you disagree with something doesnt mean you give up, stomping out of the room.It means to speak your opinion and keep at it.
