To be more clear, I pretty much disagree with the first half of this idea wholesale. First of all, admin powers are not a finite resource. We can keep creating more and more admins until the end of time, if need be. We do not need to take away powers from existing admins to give them to anyone else. Which brings me nicely to my second point. Inactive mods aren't hurting anybody. They don't, to the best of my knowledge, randomly come in and start messing things up. Nor does their very existence somehow weaken the authority of other admins. So, that raises a question that is very important, here: If they don't hurt anything, nor cost any resources to maintain, why not keep them around? At worst, their accounts will never get used. At best, they will come back from time to time and help out...something that they will be completely unable to do if they are stripped of their powers.

And, to be quite frank, I am a bit worried about anyone that lacks the critical thinking ability to realize that being an admin.
