So recently there's been some discussion on removing the rights from inactive users, so in order to ensure that they can retain their status while also fulfilling the desires of the community to remove their rights, I propose we add user tags that show what their previous rank was before the removal of their rights (i.e "retired administrator"). The code would be fairly simple and wouldn't take me too long to set up. However I'd like to hear the what the community has to say first.

Which combination do you want, I want to know how much work I'll have to do (yes Hyper, I've figured out how to add tags to thread comments, and I know how to add them to blog comments, I'm not that much of a CSS idiot. 
</noscript> User page header tags are still locked, though, I think, unless there's some workaround).
Ok, I've never called you a CSS idiot number one, and number two, in order to give them user page header tags you need to use Javascript which is indeed possible (that's how "Super Mod Commander" is a thing)

Nope. "Super Mod Commander" was a simple matter of changing the text on the Bureaucrat page. Actually adding an entirely new tag is far more intensive than merely editing text.

Technically speaking, Javascript is how it is implemented in Wikia's actual code. And I do know how to add tags via javascript, I've done some research into the matter

The same setting anyone would use "honorary president."

"Honorary" implies "current." I do believe the tag is for retired admins who no longer retain power.

1. LMBW is not a formal setting, as Kep said. So why should we grant the title of honorary admin?
2. If anything, we should have a tag that says, "Former admin". And I don't even agree with that.

1. That was your own sarcastic suggestion, which isn't even applicable as you give the title "honorary" to someone who has never been in that position.
