Well if anyone can find the posts of "I resign my everything/accreditation"
for some of these users, post em. We'll mark em as expired. As for
Commoners (myself included) - the purpose was originally for them to get
press accreditation so they could take news related pictures (for us to
use). My assumption is that if they haven't edited Wikinews in nearly 18
months, you probably aren't contributing any pictures to our stories. That
being said, if they aren't taking pictures for us, they don't need it.
