Forum:CT:Proposal to de-sysop multiple admins

Hello, my fellow fanonites. Today I bring you a proposal that most likely will come as unexpected and will surely be controversial. So, without jerking anyone around, I'll just say it: this proposal is to demote NKSCF, Gnosis is knowledge, CurrentBigThing, and Jasca Ducato as administrators here on Star Wars Fanon.

Now you're probably thinking: "Why on God's green earth would we demote four administrators?" The answer, from my perspective, is relatively simple: they aren't active. Forget about being productive and helpful, they don't even edit at all. In fact, according to SWFanon's administrator page, all of the admins I propose we demote are listed as "Inactive," save for NKSCF, whom doesn't do much here anyways. In fact, his last edit was over a month ago. For somebody that should be "an active member of the community," these four aren't active or productive as administrators. Don't get me wrong: I'm not bashing them in any way. They once were terrific administrators who were active and helped the wiki improve and grow, but the key word there is "once." They simply aren't active anymore. The fact they get to keep their administrative rights is pure insanity. Why so? When there is a request for adminship, what is one of the things we look for the most: contributions, productivity, activity in community events. These admins aren't present, therefore they cannot do any of the above-mentioned tasks.

Now some may argue "them having these admin rights doesn't hurt anybody." Yeah, that's true, but they don't "help" anybody either, and that's what administrators are suppose to do. A few weeks ago, Nightmare975 and myself were nominated for adminship. The most active administrator here, Brandon Rhea, did not support the nominations because he thought "we really don't have a need for more administrators at this time." I respectfully but strongly disagree. To be reasonable, there are only two active admins here: one being Rhea, the other being Solus, whom it could be debated about whether or not she is indeed "Active."

So, you have my argument. Now it's up to you, the community, to vote. We'll be voting for each administrator individually, in a "stay or go" manner. Messages will be left on the above-listed administrators' talk pages informing them of this proposal and their possible demotion.

Please remain civil, and remember that all matters of the voting policy apply. Voting will last for two (2) weeks, until April 11, 2010, unless more or less time is needed.

Demote (+1)

 * 1) He wanted to keep his admins powers because he thought he may become active again in the future. That was a year ago. --Wylindsig.png (Conference Room)  00:32, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
