I'm very reluctant to support this. First of all, I feel as if it violates our policy. I know it's under the administrator policy, and this is for moderators, but our policy does say that "It should only happen when a user continually breaks our policy, and refuses to stop."

Secondly, I see no good reason for this. In fact, cleaning up the list is the only reason I see at all. I fail to understand why it's a problem to have inactive moderators, and I feel that it's unfair to a moderator to force them to go back through the entire RfR process simply because they were inactive for a couple months.

With that being said, I am only reluctant, not entirely opposed. I do see the benefit of not having to worry about moderators going inactive for a long period of time, and then returning, having changed significantly while they were gone. It's very often that a user will leave the wiki being well respected and in agreement with our policy, only to return a year later and be a completely different person, disagreeing with our policy, and constantly being on the verge of stirring up trouble. My point here is basically that people's views do often change during the age range where most of us are at. Removing their rights for inactivity would really just be an excuse to remove their rights for very different motives.
