UDWiki talk:Administration/Policy Discussion/Reevaluation for Bureaucrats

Simple

Does anything really need to be said about this? Simple change to fix something overlooked when sysop evaluations were implemented. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 03:37, 4 May 2011 (BST)

I don't think it was overlooked (I think more trust was placed in them, hence why it was that way), but I do agree that 8 months makes more sense. —Aichon— 06:54, 4 May 2011 (BST)

It wasn't overlooked, as:

said:

After 3 months with no elections on a bureaucrat position, an election is called for the bureaucrat position longest without an election.

Since there are only two bureaucrats, each position will have an election every six/seven months (seven includes the two weeks of voting per election). The 12 months bit was a failsafe, in the event that something occurred that caused havok with the bureaucrat elections (say the addition of a third crat). In the event of a third bureaucrat position, then you are talking about 10 months cycle, which still fits in under the 12 month range. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 21:11, 5 May 2011 (BST)

It was overlooked in the Sysop Re-evaluation cycle change not the 'crat voting policy.The issue is 'crats going through standard re-evaluation while still 'crats.--Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 21:45, 5 May 2011 (BST)

Bureaucrats shouldn't be going through Re-valuation due to the following:

said:

The bureaucrat's promotions process is in essence a re-evaluation of a sysop by the community. Bureaucrats go through regular process of re-elections, so each time they are elected, the community is renewing their faith in the sysop, and is not subject to re-evaluation through this policy. When a bureaucrat is not re-elected and becomes a sysop again, then the sysop is again available for re-evaluation through this policy. When this happens, the bureaucrat's eight months start from when they were promoted to bureaucrat.

said:

Current bureaucrats are exempt from this review process due to their own review process.

Or is there another policy which modified the Sysop Re-evaluations policy? --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 22:06, 5 May 2011 (BST)
