Currently, if a BN resigns on good terms or is removed for low activity they are given a short cooldown of 30 days before they can apply to become a BN again (see the relevant wiki).
However, doing so requires going through the probation process again if they do this and pass. This can be discouraging if someone wants to take an extended break like 2-3 months and does not provide much benefit for BNs who have already proven themselves to be competent before.
My proposal is that if a BN resigned on good terms or was removed for activity in the last year, and can pass their application, they can instantly be re-instated as a full beatmap nominator instead of going through probation again.
I've also put up a BN website vote so that those most directly affected (current BNs+NATs) can put their opinions, see here:
Voting for resigned on good terms
Voting for inactivity removal

I'd like to give this thread a week before any decision is made either way, so I encourage anyone interested to post/vote before September 30th 23:59 UTC
