Wiki
Proposal Archive

The following proposal has been discussed and is now marked as resolved. The page has been protected and now serves as an archive. Do not edit this page.
Date Resolved: August 18, 2014


Result: Proposal passes.


Introduction

Hi all.

Recently, we've had a lot of users claim they are going to retire from the wiki, then return the next day. I won't name any of these users, but you're aware of who I mean. A couple of them have been Admins, a couple Chat Mods. This creates further drama for the wiki as they receive all of this attention on their retirement blog, and then they return the next day.

Now, this hasn't been a problem as of yet but I propose the following:

Proposal

All Admins and Chat Mods who say they're going to retire have their rights removed immediately (or pending reasoning/discussion). They must reapply for the rights if they want to resume their position once/if they return. This may sound harsh, but it creates decreased stability on the wiki if high profile users (admins/chat mods) are saying they're going to retire then return wanting their rights back.

Just to note, this won't be an issue for users who're just taking a break - we've all done that including myself. This is strictly for users who are considering a more permanent break from the wiki. Thanks! --Spongebob456 talk 16:09, August 11, 2014 (UTC)
