Once a year, all sitting sysops will come up for re-evaluation by the community. The idea of this re-evaluation is to ensure that each sysop still has the trust of the community, which is vital for a sysop to have. This will give the community a chance to voice their opinions about how the sysops have been doing, and re-affirm or decline their trusted user status.

The idea of a sysop being a trusted user is a part of the guidelines for the general conduct of a sysop. The guidelines for the re-evaluation is the same as for being promoted to a sysop (which is reposted below), but with a few minor changes in wording.

Guidelines for System Operator Re-Evaluations

Once a year, on Urban Dead's birthday (July 3rd), all sysops will be subject to a community discussion. Sysops may also put themselves up for re-evaluation at any time (see below). All users are asked to comment on each candidate in question, ask questions of the candidate, and discuss the candidate's suitability for continuing to be a System Operator. This is not a vote. It is instead merely a request for comments from the wiki community. This will continue for two weeks, as all users get a chance to air their opinions on the candidate.

Once the two weeks are up, the Bureaucrats will review the community discussion and make a decision for each candidate based upon it. The user will be notified of the status of their re-evaluation, and will be retained in their position should it appear that the community is willing to continue to accept them as a System Operator. In the event that the decision is negative, then the sysop will be demoted back to regular user status, where after a month's time, the user can re-submit themself for promotion.

Before users voice their opinions on the candidate who wishes to continue their System Operator status, the following guidelines should be reviewed by the user:

General User Guidelines for System Operator Re-Evaluations

Before voicing their opinion on a candidate's re-evaluation bid, a user should consider some of the following questions:

  • Has the candidate spent significant time within the community as a sysop?
We define this as the candidate having made at least one edit in the past 3 months. It is recommended that a user look over the the sysop activity check and last 500 edits to determine the level of activity of the candidate.
Note: The Truly Inactive Sysops policy dictates that a sysop who hasn't made an edit within four months is automatically demoted. Therefore, for a sysop to be re-evaluated, they need to have made an edit before that time-frame is up.
  • Has the candidate maintained significant activity within the community?
We define this as at least 50 edits under the candidate's name since their last re-evaluation. It is recommended that a user look over the candidate's last 50 edits in order to get a feel for the activity of a candidate.
Note: looking in a User's User contributions might give false results for this criterion, as the edit history used to be periodically purged on this wiki.
  • Has the candidate expressed interest in maintaining the community?
We define this as clear evidence that the candidate is already performing maintenance tasks and continuing taking a leadership role on the wiki.
  • Has the candidate expressed a desire to continue to be a System Operator?
We define this simply as indicating in the candidate's request their desire to continue to maintain the position.
  • Is there an indication of trust in the candidate.
We define this as a minimum of three other users (preferably users with at least 200 edits under their name and at least one System Operator), willing to vouch for the candidate's suitability for the role.

If a candidate is highly exemplary in one guideline, a certain level of flexibility should be extended to the other guidelines. Other guidelines for qualifications may be used, these are just a few suggested things to consider before a user voices their opinion.

Re-Evaluations still open for discussion

User:Krazy Monkey

Might as well get this done. I don't want to be last. =/ Anyway, I've been on the wiki since some point waaaaaay back in April 2006, became a sysop round about February last year and I've made a veritable shit-load of edits since then. Admittedly, I have been away quite a bit over this summer due to work and holidays and stuff, but I'm back now and getting stuck back in. The main tasks I do are generally deleting stuff, moving stuff, categorising images and some other stuff like double and broken redirects. In any case, I think I've covered everything and if the community will have me, I'm quite happy to continue being a sysop. -- Cheese 21:16, 3 September 2009 (BST)

Re-Evaluations still needing to be processed

User:Daranz

I'm putting Daranz up for A/RE as per his long time position as an unevaluated Sysop. I've put a notice on his talk page about this. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 08:28, 3 September 2009 (BST)

Alrighty then. If (or rather, when) I get kicked to the curb at least I won't have to feel obliged to keep coming here. --Daranz.t.mod janitor 20:56, 4 September 2009 (BST)
  • Hell no - literally comes on once every 4 months to keep his status. --xoxo 08:32, 3 September 2009 (BST)
  • No way - as previously stated, kick him in the cunt.--CyberRead240 08:34, 3 September 2009 (BST)
  • Forget it - As Jed, really. --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 08:56, 3 September 2009 (BST)
  • Against - Similar behaviour to Swiers except not quite as bad because he was actually a good sysop at one point. Cyberbob  Talk  08:58, 3 September 2009 (BST)
  • Strongly Against --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 08:59, 3 September 2009 (BST)
  • Against --Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 09:31, 3 September 2009 (BST)
  • Strongly Against - I've been on the wiki for 3 and a half years and I've only seen him a handful of times and even then all he did was write on talk pages and comment on something. I've never seen him do anything that requires sysop powers. -- Cheese 09:38, 3 September 2009 (BST)
  • Keep - Daranz's contributions, although far between, are always helpful. As long as he doesn't fall below the threshold for inactivity, I have no problem with him keeping the sysop abilities so that he can do his wiki gnome work without having to go through the admin pages -- boxy talk • teh rulz 09:44 3 September 2009 (BST)
  • Against - As Cheese Monkey --WanYao 10:05, 3 September 2009 (BST)
  • Heck noes! - eight edits for 2009 thus far, none of which required sysopowers.--Nallan (Talk) 10:37, 3 September 2009 (BST)
  • Against His very rare contributions may be worthwhile but they are not enough to justify the sysop badge.--Honestmistake 12:20, 3 September 2009 (BST)
  • Abstain! Because apart from meat puppetry, I have no idea which way to vote. Because I have no idea who this is. --RahrahCome join the #party!13:24, 3 September 2009 (BST)
  • Against - Severe inactivity. --Bob Boberton TF / DW Littlemudkipsig.gif 14:38, 3 September 2009 (BST)
  • Against - As above, and below --THE Godfather of Яesensitized, Anime Sucks Yalk | W! U! WMM| CC CPFOAS DORISFlag.jpg LOE ZHU | Яezzens 19:27, 3 September 2009 (BST)
  • Vouch - as boxy. Daranz is one of the few sysops which can be trusted to be impartial in any case he rule on --People's Commissar Hagnat [talk] [wcdz] 20:42, 3 September 2009 (BST)
    • Assuming he's around to rule on it. ;p -- Cheese 20:48, 3 September 2009 (BST)
  • Against - Good lord no. I shouldn't be able to see a complete listing of his edits from June 2008 to June 2009 on the same page!!! Agh! And for those of you who laud his impartiality, well christ, a plasmodial slime mold would be equally impartial and contribute about as much to the wiki.--GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 21:27, 3 September 2009 (BST)
  • Against - Showing up every 4 months does not a sysop make. --User:Axe27/Sig 21:36, 3 September 2009 (BST)
  • Against - Much like an attractive lesbian, this one is a waste of a perfectly good slot. --Papa Moloch 22:59, 3 September 2009 (BST)
  • Abstain - Whether he's around much or not, I really don't know the guy well enough to say if he should have sysop powers. Lelouch vi Britannia is helping make Ridleybank green_ and gives Achievements 23:34, 3 September 2009 (BST)
  • Against - In for way too long, does nothing anymore.--SirArgo Talk 02:17, 4 September 2009 (BST)
  • Against - WAY too inactive--Orange Talk 02:20, 4 September 2009 (BST)
  • Against - As cheese. --Haliman - Talk 02:44, 4 September 2009 (BST)
  • Against - Someone who contributed less than I did, with less community support, getting a positive vote from box(imnottrollin)y? for shame :P Conndrakamod TAZM CFT 14:06, 5 September 2009 (BST)
  • Against - No where near active enough. Good in his time from what I saw, but far too inactive.-- Adward  15:19, 5 September 2009 (BST)
  • Vouch - As Boxy. Even if Daranz only uses his sysop powers once every 4 months, that's still 1 more constructive edit than would be made otherwise.--The General T Sys U! P! F! 22:15, 5 September 2009 (BST)
  • Abstain - Haven't seen him around enough to make a call. - THELORDGUNSLINGER 01:33, 6 September 2009 (BST)
  • Varch - Inactivity doesn't really matter, as long as a sysops pokes in once in a while. Sysops are nothing special. There's no real reason to remove a sysops even if they edit only sparingly, (unless they forget to wiki), so as boxy. Also, daranz's comment. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 23:41, 7 September 2009 (BST)
    not really true, ahlg. there are new policies, precedents, things going on that a sysop should be in the loop on. --WanYao 06:58, 8 September 2009 (BST)
    No, there's hardly anything new or complicated. It's not difficult, especially since Daranz really only seems to poke in on deletions, moves, protections. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 16:40, 8 September 2009 (BST)
  • Against Nothing against you personally its just that it would be better with someone that is more active --DOWN WITH THE 'CRATS!!! | Join Nod!!! 00:48, 10 September 2009 (BST)
