Inactive admins
Should we have a policy for revoking an inactive admin's rights? --a_morris (talk) 00:59, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

no
No,because what if an inactive admin comes back,then the admin whould be shocked.Also,on another wiki there was debate over this policy.--Monster2821 06:35, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Inactive admins could be warned before the policy/revocation goes into effect. Can you give a link to the debate? --a_morris (talk) 14:24, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Yes
I think an Admin's rights should be revoked after a long absence - I'm not sure exactly how long that would be, but I would say something in excess of 6 months from the last time they made any real contribution to the wiki (so editing a talk page or userpage won't count) - I'm only saying 6 months as a base suggestion. I would also say that if an Admin returns after their rights are revoked, they should be able to receive them back with little or no problem, unless they were absent a really really long time.

On a related note, is there a policy for revoking the rights of a "rogue" admin (let us hope this never happens)? -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog) 16:04, July 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * 'rogue' admins can be reported to other admins and they'll take action based on what it's about. Don't think there's a policy, let's handle it when it happens.


 * The downside of having an inactive admin who are still listed, is that users with questions or concerns might try to contact them (despite the 'inactive' tag on the admin page). I would say that if the users hasn't actively participated in any admin activites in 6 months, their right will be revoked. Should they ask for it to be reinstated it should be done so immidiately. This suggestion has a small catch though: How do we define 'active admin participation'?


 * Also, if an admin knows he's gonna either stop playing or knows he isn't gonna feel like contributing, then of course he should step down. 6 months of total inactivity with no contributions should revoke admin rights, with the possibility of instant reinstatement if they return.
