Board Thread:General Wiki Discussion/@comment-5619531-20140815212156

I decided to do this because I feel that it needs it. With Sloshed's demotion thread and its compromise, and a load-some of rollbacks being demoted within 10 or so days ago, it feels necessary that the inactivity guidelines to have these certain rights be on the rules themselves. And yes, I intend on implementing them on all of the pasta wikis. Call this a rough draft if it does get supported by the other wikis, or enact them as soon as it gets supported. It doesn't really matter.

Bureaucrat
6 months of inactivity, another bureaucrat asks the inactive bureaucrat to step down.

If they refuse to step down from their right, then the bureaucrat who has asked the inactive bureaucrat to step down to make a proposal for their demotion via proposal thread. If they have done nothing wrong during their period, link this section of the inactivity guidelines, say that the bureaucrat has been inactive, and give any proof that the asker has asked the inactive bureaucrat and proof of their refusal to step down. If the bureaucrat announces a long period of inactivity, then this time may be extended.

Note: Bureaucrats need to be active. They are considered community leaders on this wiki, and they need to be part of the community. They have the highest ranking right on the site, and they make rules and decisions around the site. Rights may be return by request within a month by request. If they do not request it, they will be able to request their admin right within three months of the demotion. If not, then they will have to re-apply for the admin and bureaucrat right again.

Short editing, lurking around the wiki, and generally not doing anything may count as inactivity.

*Insert Admin inactivity here*

*Remove/Insert Chat Mod inactivity on CPW*

*Insert VCROC inactivity here*

Rollback
2 months of inactivity, rights will be taken.

If the rollbacker returns within a month of their demotion, they may regain this right. If the rollbacker announces a long period of inactivity, this may be extended.

Note: Although rollback is useless, they must show some activity around the site. They should support the wiki, rather than having the admins do the work.

The reason why I wrote this was because that user's with these rights have shown signs of inactivity on both rights. A lot of users disappear after a couple of months after applying for the right and getting it. So I just want to prevent that from happening. Like with Sloshed's demotion thread, or a mass removal of rollbackers.
