Not saying you can't ask the question, but I don't see what the overall purpose is beyond drama.

I predict that if they say they are working on it, it'll turn into a "you've said that before"

If they say they aren't: "You're lazy, you should resign"

Ultimately this always feels like an attempt to weed out inactive staff in hopes of either making staff or having preferred people make staff, but in the end these things always led right back to this discussion.

You can't fix the problem with graphs, pointing out activity levels, trying to stir a pot.  You can fix it by being the guy that fits the model they are looking for and getting the job.

My two cents.

They may have a life of their own and be a volunteer but st the end of the day they agreed to become an administrator so they should fulfil that role and not slack and if they need to be inactive for a long period of time just resign so the spot is opened for more active staff members and then when they are active again they can speak to HR like Rocket did.(or whoever he spoke to)

As demoting inactive staff members does not directly benefit staff presence on the servers, we instead focused our efforts on finding new moderators and coming up with better training systems. This has improved the hours of active staff coverage on the server.

Now that we are better off in that regard, we (HR) would like to hold off until the next planned big update(s) which should be coming Soon™ and see what kind of effect that will have on the server and staff activity in particular, and focus more on addressing older staff members' activity issues then.

This doesn't seem true at all. Since recruiting new Moderators the overall staff activity hasn't improved, it's declined. 

You can't fix a bucket with a hole in the bottom by adding more water to it but I am glad that you're planning to address inactive staff members in the future.

I was specifically talking about staff coverage: i.e how many hours a day is there at least 1 member of staff online. Not overall staff activity.
