Forum:Removal of inactive admins

Forums: Index → Archive → 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,

Given there have been no objections Angela has removed their rights on my request. -- Manticore (talk) 08:42, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Support -- 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

Support -- Makes sense to me. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 06:47, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Support -- I agree, especially as Manticore is happy to restore their rights should they return. HaloDude 02:54, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Support -- I concur. --Blemo ^TALK • _{CONTRIBUTIONS} • _EMAIL • _MESSAGE 02:48, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Support -- 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)

Support -- 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)

Support -- I agree, no objections at all for either user. Εw C 'Dnaudee^{Battle Net} _{My Contributions} 01:28, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Support -- I agree.odst fan 01:30, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I see no reason as to why n00bs spam them with making userboxes. I live by my code: check the help page, then ask. --Blemo ^TALK • _{CONTRIBUTIONS} • _EMAIL • _MESSAGE 02:48, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but not everyone is as intelligent as Blemo. :) --Specops306, Kora 'Morhek 04:03, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Support -- Same goes for me here, I agree. Dark Neptune 03:02, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Support -- I agree in this term. SPARTAN-416, Ryke 08:49, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Support -- Sounds fair to me since he is no longer active and he will get his powers back if he returns Spec-Opp Spartan 05:50, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Support -- Don't see why not, sounds like a good idea Spartan-96 07:18, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Support No point in giving them the powers if they aren't going to use them. -theblackthrone _{(atthecenter) (ofultimatechaos)} 12:15, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Support -- Support as always...maybe we should implement these rules for the future too H-107 Subtle Tank 12:31, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Support -- Agreed Lovemuffin^{Wiki Userpage}_{Edit Count}^{Talk Page}_{Contributions} 20:55, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Support -- Considering I have been around since before this calendar year, and just found out now that these people are admins. I see no reason not to. Pryo 'Zarkum ^{Battle Net} _{My Work} 13:09, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Support -- I just think someone should set up some kind of memorial to these two. MasterChiefPettyOfficer_{Spartan Contribution} 14:15, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Like what? Not that I disagree, I'm just interested. Pryo 'Zarkum ^{Battle Net} _{My Work} 14:40, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, at least there must be something, like at least a notice of anniversaries of their leaving? MasterChiefPettyOfficer_{Spartan Contribution} 11:56, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Support -- I agree Spartan6

Support -- Agreed Grievous797

Support -- Well the time has come anyways, so I agree. Halosmoniters

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. --ED 17:25, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

What about GPT? He resigned, so is he going to be taken off the list? - General simon rjh 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 COM} _{My Work} ^{My Story} 19:11, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I heard the same thing. --Lord of SPARTANs_{LOMI HQ}^{I here your cries}_{May your works be honorable}

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. -- Cadet Staff Sergeant Lewis^{My Comm Line}_{What 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)
