Forum:Removal of inactive admins

Right now we have eleven users with admin rights (including two staffers who have/had the right for testing/technical purposes). Two of these, Esemono and Porplemontage, haven't been around in quite some time. I feel its best we remove their flags so that a) Listusers is kept up-to-date, and b) new users don't try contacting them to perform admin tasks (via their talk pages or by email). On the off-chance they decide to return, I am happy to restore their rights and/or direct them to RfA; whatever the community decides. Please state below if you object to this for either user. If there are no major objections within one week I will ask Wikia Staff to remove these users' rights.

Thanks,

-- I will only support this if Manticore in fact does give them back their status right away, or from an RfA when and if they come back. Cadet Corporal  Stubblefield ,  Platoon Sergeant  Talk 5/03/2008

-- I've often wondered how much they get spammed with n00bs asking for a userbox, or how to get Recon. And since they haven't been here for quite a while, I have to agree. -- Specops306 ,  Kora 'Morhek  01:37, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

-- Makes sense, esp. if rights will be restored if / when they return. Regards, RelentlessRecusant  'o the Halopedia Team  TALK • MESSAGE 23:24, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I see no reason as to why n00bs spam them with making userboxes.

Comments
You should ask the wikia staff first if they would actually do this. They have so far resisted any moves on our part to remove admin tools for anyone without very good reasons, and I recall a recommendation like this being turned down by them a year or so ago. -- E D  17:25, 3 May 2008 (UTC)


 * What about GPT? He resigned, so is he going to be taken off the list? - General simon r  j  h 17:47, 3 May 2008 (UTC)


 * He was on the IRC not that long ago, from what I hear he is planning to come back, but not for a while. I'm not sure if we await his return and keep his admin rights, or send him to an RfA when he returns. Pryo 'Zarkum   My COMMy WorkMy Story 19:11, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

 * GPT's comeback just on IRC was actually just a "Visit" to us though. He also said that he's unable to bear adminship responsiblities again just yet. Dark Neptune 07:00, 5 May 2008 (UTC)


 * GPT's got some issues, so he won't be back in an admin position for a while. He may return if he is hired by wikia. -- <font color="Red">Cadet Staff Sergeant Lewis My Comm LineWhat I've done 15:29, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Hired by Wikia? Lulz. The reason I haven't included GPT in this proposal is because there are different circumstances in play. If we were going to have his adminship revoked; it wouldn't be because of inactivity. -- Manticore   (talk)  16:21, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
