"The Important Thing Is To Never Stop Questioning,"
I can attest to the as I was absent for some time. And when you return you do not gain instant titles. At least I don't remember it that way. I was a member for about a day, after I posted a bit I was ranked up, and have slowly risen to my current rank over the past few months.
I used to be Uber Active, then I left the site for some time. I've been back for 3 months or so now and just got to my current member title. Taking this into account I believe Absent members can rank up faster than a regular member, depending entirely, on their activity and rating before they went inactive, and their rate of activity on return.

And i would have thought that Absent would be the highest, if you have been inactive for 6 months doesn't that automatically change your prefix no matter what it was before?It might be, but you'd never know. Any posts of Absent Members would be from six months ago. If they posted today, they'd rapidly lose that prefix.You lose it instantly, there is some delay where your title flickers between absent member to whatever the system calculates you to be but it is almost instant, I have tested it.
