{{bid|The General}}
Looks like I'm up for re-evaluation today, so add your opinions below.--<span>[[User:The General|The General]] <sup>[[User Talk:The General|T]] [[Special:ListUsers/sysop|<span title="System Operator">Sys</span>]] [[Project_UnWelcome|<span title="Project UnWelcome">U!</span>]] [[Project Wiki Patrol|<span title="Project Wiki Patrol">P!</span>]] <span class="plainlinks">[http://urbandeadwiki.smfforfree.com/index.php <span title="Urban Dead Wiki Forum">F!</span>]</span></sup></span> 10:34, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
*Just like Revenant below, it looks like you've been pretty inactive. :P --[[User:Shortround|Shortround]] 11:03, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
*:It's a fair point, though I don't personally believe that activity should be the sole criterion for re-evaluating a sysop.--<span>[[User:The General|The General]] <sup>[[User Talk:The General|T]] [[Special:ListUsers/sysop|<span title="System Operator">Sys</span>]] [[Project_UnWelcome|<span title="Project UnWelcome">U!</span>]] [[Project Wiki Patrol|<span title="Project Wiki Patrol">P!</span>]] <span class="plainlinks">[http://urbandeadwiki.smfforfree.com/index.php <span title="Urban Dead Wiki Forum">F!</span>]</span></sup></span> 11:58, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
*::Okey doke. :) What do you think you bring to the sysop team? --[[User:Shortround|Shortround]] 15:03, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
*'''abstain''' - not so doopy, still inactive but at least doesn't dogpile elections and crap on when accused of something {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 11:50, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
*'''Vouch''' - Looking at contribs, not as inactive as it seems. I see deletions, moves, bot banning, voting and the like over the last few months. It'd be cool if he were around for more of it. ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>14:33, 23 January 2012 (UTC)</sub>

==Recent Re-Evaluations==
{{bid|Revenant}}
It is due today, so I am putting it up as long as it is yet the 15th. --'''<span style="font-family:monoce; background-color:#222222">[[User:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime"> Spiderzed</span>]][[User talk:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime">█ </span>]]</span>''' 19:16, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
*'''Vouch''' - not vouching for Rev means you support zerging, people who pretend to be nazis in shitty online games, and Dracoguard--{{User:AnimeSucks/Sig}} 19:32, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
*'''Supreme Vouch''' - certainly one of the best around here {{User:Generaloberst/s}} 20:44, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
* against - he so not around lately. he must be getting laid. when he gets dumped by the fat girl that he is chasing after he will come crawling back out of kat's pussy and enlighten us all with topical quotes from other wikis and emoticons. if he wants it. get busy man.  i mean <big>'''VOOCH'''</big>--{{User:Sexualharrison/sig}}<small>23:32, 15 January 2012 (bst)</small>
*'''Vouch''' - can I say as per anime? --{{User:The Colonel/Sig}} 03:57, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
*'''against''' - when he does manage to hang around he sucks {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 05:55, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
*'''Question''' - How many edits per week, for every week, do you plan on making, on average, if we choose to keep you? --{{User:Axe Hack/Sig}} 06:01, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
*'''Against''' - Never did anything that would justify his antics, let alone his constant spurts of prolonged inactivity. -- [[Image:Cat Pic.png|14px]] [[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''Thadeous Oakley''']]</span> [[User_Talk:MisterGame|<span style= "color: black; background-color: white">'''''Talk''''']]</span>  10:19, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
*Arguably, I've only been around for a month or two, but I have no idea who this is... :/ --[[User:Shortround|Shortround]] 10:58, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
*'''Questions''' - How often do you actually check into the wiki these days? And are you still interested in doing this? ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>14:13, 16 January 2012 (UTC)</sub>
*:There are sysops that are less active than Revenant. Have those ever got criticized for that? In my eyes Revenant is a pretty good. {{User:Generaloberst/s}} 00:00, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
*::Yes they have but that wasn't criticism, it was a question; one meant for Revanent. Also learn to indent. ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>02:20, 17 January 2012 (UTC)</sub>
*:::Bwuh how to answer question not addressed to me {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 04:46, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
*:I'd say “often enough”, but that's not as full an answer as this question deserves. I tend to look over it more often than I edit, if that helps; if there's nothing that demands my attention, I'll move on to other things and return at a later stage. Can be daily, can be weekly, though usually if something needs attention I'll get a ping somewhere. (For example, I saw this re-evaluation go up, but refrained from commenting until there was something to comment on.)<br/> I have had a few periods of prolonged absence during the year due to both medical reasons and life events, which I'm not going to elaborate on other than to say that the process of diagnosis and treatment has been proceeding well.<br/> And yes, I am still interested in doing this, mostly because a) so people can continue to come to me to get things done b) there are still things I want to get done from my to-do list when I first ran for sysop. {{tongue}} {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 01:06, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
*'''Against''' - Short spurts of activity, followed by long bursts of inactivity, coupled with less than 150 edits in the last six months. Not a good record for a sysop. --{{User:Armpit_Odor/dnsig}} 14:59, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
*Vouch - {{User:Mazu/sig}}  19:14, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
*'''Against''' - I never really did like his name. And personally just gives me the heeby jeebies whenever I see him on the wiki. That is to say, if I do see a post by him, which is not very common.--[[User:Krazymouse|Krazymouse]] 04:28, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
*:Did I happen to kill you and/or your/an allied group at some point? That tends to provoke this sort of reaction. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 01:11, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
*:: Of course!! I'm in Cobra! Durrhr.. But to be truthfully honest, I haven't seen you around the wiki lately with my usual wiki lurking skills. I have seen you alot before on the wiki of course since I have played UD for over 3 years, but as of late, I thought you dropped off the planet. Just sorta disappeared.
*'''Against''' - I haven't been here for a large chunk of his term, but, quite a number of people were a bit hesitant to promote him back then (most of the sysop team at the time, for example). Not that he hasn't been helpful, but most of what he's been doing doesn't really need sysop powers, I think. Plus the inactivity. Correct me if I'm wrong. --{{:User:Thanatologist/Sig}} 13:08, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
*'''Against''' - I have a great deal of respect for Revenant in both his history with the community and his contributions, however with his activity of late its clear that he currently has too much on his plate to continue operating in his current status as a sysop. I would welcome him back when his schedule and demands on his time lessen however. --[[User:Sabanya|Sabanya]] 10:56, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
*'''Vouch''' - Helps out, would be better if it was less occasional. --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 17:21, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
*'''Vouch''' - As Animesucks.  {{User:BillyClubThorton/signature}} 20:06, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
*'''Against''' - Too little activity. As we did with Cheese back then in a similar situation, he just ramp up his contribs and re-apply then. --'''<span style="font-family:monospace; background-color:#222222">[[User:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime"> Spiderzed</span>]][[User talk:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime">█ </span>]]</span>''' 20:12, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
*:That incident was fundamentally retarded. The sysop revolving door really just cheapens the entire process, if not the wiki. Look at how me and Ross handled Axe Hack's demotion request for more on this. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 01:06, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
*'''Against''' - Hasn't responded to questions or his talk page. The silence speaks volumes. ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>20:29, 21 January 2012 (UTC)</sub>
*:probably because he is in the process of moving--{{User:AnimeSucks/Sig}} 00:09, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
*::for 2 months? {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 10:58, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
*::Ah. That sucks. I hate moving. I suppose I can go for a '''weak against''', which is where I was at before asking the above questions. Rev is alright. Other than the goonsig thing and possible meatpuppetry during his crat bid, I don't think he's done anything without the wiki's best interests in mind. He's just never around and I'm not sure he wants this. If he's demoted and wants to come back later, I'd probably vouch for him if he's truly interested. ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>18:58, 22 January 2012 (UTC)</sub>
*:I've been flat out, but I'm here now. {{smile}} {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 01:06, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
* '''Vouch'''- only because he asked for it on facebook --<small>[[User:Hagnat|hagnat]]</small> 01:26, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
*:{{tongue}} {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 01:31, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
* '''Vouch'''- IRL friend of Rev, and can definitely confirm that he is still incredibly interested in the UD community (he talks about it a lot). Can also confirm that absence seems to line up with health/house moving events. --[[User:Greatgreen|Greatgreen]] 02:28, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
*: Ohgods, I forgot you play(ed) UD. Also god damn it is hard to wiki on a phone. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 03:02, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
*'''Question 2''' - You didn't know you were up for Re-Evaluation until I poked you in irc a few hours earlier.  Why should I vouch for you? --{{User:Axe Hack/Sig}} 04:09, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
*:Incorrect; as I said above, I saw this re-evaluation go up, but there was nothing to respond to last I checked (which was why I thanked you for notifying me).<br/> As for why you should vouch for me? One reason, and one only: because you think I should remain a sysop. If not, ''don't''. Simple. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 11:06, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

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.
