Proposal

The gamer 987654321 is proposing the following:

I am proposing the following revision to the repromotion section of the user rights policy:

Any user who retires, resigns, or quits and returns and wishes to be repromoted must follow the same procedures and requirements as if they were a user who had never been promoted before. If a retired or resigned user returns to ESB, they cannot be promoted to any position until three (3) months following the announcement of their return or decision not to retire or resign. Any requirement of the repromotion policy can be waived by the majority vote of the active bureaucrats. This can be overruled by a majority vote of the active administrators (sysop only).

If a theoretical user were to give up their rights in a hurry, then natural consequences should arise as a result of that. I see no reason why this would be necessary other than to maintain the same old people inside the inward-looking clique of the administration. Allowing such a blatant exception to the rule, without even having any actual discussion with the editors, only justifies this sort of destabilising behaviour, by providing an easy cop-out when the theoretical user changes his / her mind. This has no place on such a community-oriented wiki as ESB, or in a world where people have to live with their past decisions. --The gamer 987654321 (talk) 20:16, September 18, 2020 (UTC)


Voting will conclude on September 29, 2020 at 11:51AM EDT.  Anthony2306 (WCLE)  15:51, September 22, 2020 (UTC)

  • Oppose Oppose - I might be slightly biased because I was recently repromoted in this fashion but I personally believe that this would not be a necessary revision. This policy has been in place for years and no major issues have arisen from it as far as I'm aware.  Anthony2306 (WCLE)  15:52, September 22, 2020 (UTC) 
  • Oppose Oppose - Per Anthony.  Dededeletethis (WCE)  15:56, September 22, 2020 (UTC)

  • Neutral Neutral - Both sides make fair points. I personally feel it should be dependent on how long the user was demoted and their reasoning for why they were demoted for said amount of time. ChickenkrispiesW C E Triforce  16:38, September 22, 2020 (UTC) 
  • Neutral Neutral - Yeah, I think it depends on the situation so I'm gonna go neutral on this.  Louis219 (WCE)  16:57, September 22, 2020 (UTC)
