If a raider need a break from raiding or has anything happening in life that prevents her/him from raiding they will inform their class leader. The class leader will demote to membership if she/he sees fit. The player will get promoted back when they are back to full-time play and let the class leader know. If the player has been away for such a long time that the raid spot has been taken, the class leader will bring the decision to the other class leaders/officers/presidency.
