Over the past weeks we've seen a lot of volatility in the Moonriver collator set with multiple big entities leaving the field. And it's not always been smoothly executed. 
We have seen multiple nodes from one operator being just abandonned and still included in the active set while being offline for over a month which is unacceptable for the chain performance.

For that reason our [latest and greatest Runtime upgrade](https://forum.moonbeam.network/t/runtime-rt2600-schedule/1372/5?u=dev0_sik) included a new feature that was also mentioned in a [forum discussion](https://forum.moonbeam.network/t/resolving-moonriver-collator-set-problems/1348/2?u=dev0_sik) about the problems described above.

This referendum seekds to enable the markingOffline feature so afterwards everybody from the community will be able to execute an parachainStaking.notifyInactiveCollator extrinsic which temporarily removes the flagged offline collator from the set, after some automated tests to ensure it's not a false-positive.

In case of open questions feel free to comment below or approach me in any way. 

Cheers, 
Sik
