Forum:Desysopment

Greetings everyone! Its been a while since I've been able to edit, so here goes...

Today, 4th March 2011, I recieved a message from Bondpedia. This message warned me that if I do not make twenty edits in a three day period, I would lose my sysop rights. I disagree with this policy, I shall now say why.

1, It is unfair. Those who have these sysop rights have been given to them because their hard work and effort has earned them the rights to further improve the wiki. Why should someone who worked hard for rights lose them because of inactivity?

2, It is pointless. If you gained the rights through the RFA process you can get them back if you edit 20 times within a three day period. So what's the point in taking them away in the first place? It just creates more hassle for bureaucrats, who have more important issues to be dealing with rather than a policy which creates an extra unneeded step.

3, It can be difficult. Some sysops make have earned their rights not through mass editing, instead through template & category development, whole article re-writes, collecting all good quality images to add to articles, the list goes on. Some sysops won't make 20 edits in three days. This may be because of their editing style or their life. Some people have days where they can't get on. Why should they be persecuted for this?

There are my reasons for why I disagree with this policy. I now call a vote to whether the policy should be kept or not. Please add your comments in the comment section. Cheers! TheDocRichtofen 19:47, March 4, 2011 (UTC)
