PierreAbbat, Ortonmc, Kevin Rector edit

PierreAbbat, Ortonmc, and Kevin Rector have no activities here for more than 6 months, so I would like to propose desysoping them.--Jusjih 04:19, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure the minimum was one year of inactivity, before such a nomination could begin. --Connel MacKenzie T C 05:20, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with at least a one year inactivity, I myself have gone inactive for 6 months and I have only been here a year. I am also ambivalent to desysopping, I am not sure there is any tangible benefit to keeping or losing them, they just sit there mostly. - TheDaveRoss 05:29, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Surely at least a year, probably more. Desysopping could help keeping an overview on who's really here and who's not, but there shouldn't be a hurry I guess. — Vildricianus 09:40, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kevin Rector has no activity after 20 June 2005. PierreAbbat is no longer active for more than one year. Shall we start proceeding to desysop them?--Jusjih 00:37, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As long as tradition is followed: The de-sysoping process itself should take 1/2 to two years. And the process can be stopped immediately by that sysop's return. And they can be reinstated automatically if they return later. --Connel MacKenzie T C 00:53, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you ask them on their Wikipedia pages? — Vildricianus 15:21, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have asked PierreAbbat here with no response. I just asked w:User:PierreAbbat pending response. I have asked w:User:Kevin Rector with no response. These two admins here have no activity for at least one year. I just asked Ortonmc (no activity after September 2005) and found that w:User:Ortonmc has had no activity after June 2005.--Jusjih 07:46, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You may have noticed this. As you can see, one year is probably even too short. I don't think we should consider any desysopping for inactivity for less than two years. — Vildricianus 16:16, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sjc has been desysoped for no activity since 2004-09-11. Less than two years have passed. Wiktionary:Administrators/Former does not specify how long is too long. Shall we hold a vote to decide how long is too long?--Jusjih 23:23, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm wondering why you are so keen on desysopping them. We could vote if you really wanted to, though, but I think there'll be a lack of interest here. Why not just wait? — Vildricianus 16:35, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As an admin using the same username at seven Wiki sites, I have seen some sites pointing out that inactive admins may pose security concerns should someone else gets their passwords and logs in as an imposter to vandalize. As an admin at Wikimedia Commons and Chinese Wikipedia, I know their policies to desysop for inactivity for more than 6 months.--Jusjih 00:44, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That could happen to active accounts as well (if it could happen at all). There are enough sysops here to spot malicious account takeovers. — Vildricianus 18:48, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am back Kevin Rector 18:44, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:PierreAbbat put in an appearance earlier this month. — Dvortygirl 00:50, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
