UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/ARE

Simple.

Modify the re-evaluations guidelines to have one every 6 months for a System Operator instead of 8.

I'd much rather it be four, but everyone won't like it because that's too constant. On the other hand, 8 is much too long of a time span for a bad 'op to stay in power once he gets promoted/passes his revaluation bid.

We don't have a clause for interim evaluations or any other policy bound way of getting rid of a bad 'op, so I feel a shortening of the time span is a decent idea.

DISCUSS.

2. We haven't even had one 8 month term yet. Unneeded change -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 09:57 10 January 2010 (BST)
3. I thought the 8 month term was recently voted in? Why not wait till at least the end of a term? I see no drastic reason for change --C Whitty 14:25, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

   So what you're saying is you'd rather wait until we do have a bad 'op let in? k-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 22:33, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

   stop fucking saying "'op" thanks in advance Cyberbob  Talk  06:29, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

   Well it's more the apostrophe that annoys me than anything else, dunno why :\ Cyberbob  Talk  13:38, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

   Either way, if you want me to stop doing it, it's not too big of a deal. Sysop sounds better than 'op anyway.-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 14:52, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

6. nay, because im a dick Ripf22 03:40, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
7. Nay, because the person who brought the policy just wants to vote on getting rid of people more often. How about a policy on voting to get rid of SA every week? I'd be for that. --Funt Solo ^QT 05:30, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

   I would approve of that, just for hilarity's sake. --Thadeous Oakley 10:09, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

9. I Have risen from my deathlike torpor to oppose this mechanic once again. The whole business of reevaluating sysops is silliness that builds up an image of sysops as moderators who run your shit. Its divisive, bureaucratic, and unnecessary. Rules for the sake of rules and popularity contests for the sake of drama. --Zaruthustra^{Still a Mod in His Mind} 20:02, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
10. Realized this is mostly silly and SA just wants an evaluation or something. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 20:25, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
11. Zaru is persuasive. Bad sysops only represent one vote out of however-many and it's not like any of the really bad ones have ever made it very long anyway. Cyberbob  Talk  20:32, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

    Just you wait til I delete every page on the entire wiki. 20:34, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

12. 8 months is fine. We only recently voted this policy into place, no need to change it. Also, Zaruthustra, as always, has a point.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 08:22, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
13. As Boxy. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 09:23, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
14. Against - I don't see the switch from 8 to 6 months making that much of a difference. --ZsL 16:51, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
