| As [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=UDWiki:Administration/Protections&diff=prev&oldid=2252318 Bob just pointed out], my re-eval should have begun a few weeks ago. I'll blame the fact that my home computer has been turned off since mid-July as my excuse (been too busy to get it set back up again since we moved all of my wife's stuff into the house). No clue what excuse the rest of you have. :P {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 15:42, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

| *If there ever came such a time that we doubted your identity, what indisputable piece of evidence or argument could be raised to allay any fears that you are an impostor? --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 23:06, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
| |
| *:I suppose that depends on what aspect of my identity it is that you doubt, since identity confirmation relies on an ability to build upon established trust. If there's a concern that my username on the wiki has been compromised, I'd imagine the most expedient way for me to confirm my identity would be to make a change to [http://aichon.com aichon.com], which has been associated with my UD activity for years, given that I've been hosting the [http://soc.aichon.com Soldiers of Crossman message boards] there since early 2010. Or checkuser could be used to quickly see if new IP addresses in a different location were suddenly popping up. On the other hand, if you see someone in a game or on a site (including this one) claiming to be me with an account you don't recognize as mine, you're welcome to ask them to prove it by posting with my established username here on the wiki. I'm always happy to do so, and have offered it several times over the years to folks who have asked if I'm the same "Aichon" that they know from UD when they spot me in other games.<br />Otherwise, there are loads of ways to reach me that I've either directly or indirectly provided via my wiki pages for years. For instance, [[User:Aichon|my main user page]] mentions an IRC server where I've registered my nickname, the sidebar provides a way to e-mail me, [[User:Aichon/Other#Hobbies|another user page]] mentions accounts I have with the same username at [http://backloggery.com/aichon other] [http://myanimelist.net/profile/Aichon sites] where I can be reached, the [[User:Aichon/Userscripts#Original_releases|userscripts I've authored]] provide a different contact e-mail address at which I can be reached, I've had [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1644539 the] [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1599921 same] [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1599934 four] [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1598119 characters] for the entirety of my time playing the game and can modify their profiles to prove account ownership, I have [http://www.barhah.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=20462 accounts] at the message boards for [http://soc.aichon.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2 the groups] to which [http://philosopheknights.org/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=20001 those characters] belong, and several people here (e.g. Ross, Yonn, Spider) have gotten responses to sidebar e-mails they've sent me, so they each have e-mail addresses that can be used to reach me. An impersonator would only ever have access to one or two of those at best, whereas in most circumstances I should have access to ALL of those (barring them hacking into my current e-mail and resetting loads of passwords, in which case confirming my identity in an online game would be the least of my worries).<br />Plus, walls of text. Seriously. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 16:59, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

| *::But what if, after the very first second that the persona "Aichon" was created, an impostor came in and assumed all subsequent instances of "Aichon"? That is, what if you've been an impostor (nearly) this whole time? --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 21:32, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
| |
| *:::I actually considered addressing exactly that scenario in my initial response, but decided against doing so for two reasons:
| |
| *:::#It'd be impossible to confirm that I am him, because there's no foundation on which to build trust between the original "Aichon" and anyone here.
| |
| *:::#More importantly, it's a moot point, because there'd be nothing to gain by claiming to be the original.
| |
| *:::An imposter only stands to gain if they can supplant the original, but if the original was never planted in a community to begin with, there cannot be a supplanting. Merely a planting of a different one. Or, put differently, it'd just mean that I'm a different "Aichon", someone else using the same username, rather than an "imposter Aichon". Moreover, given that the "Aichon" persona pre-dates the launch of UD by a year or two, that one second of existence that separates the original from the imposter would have no bearing on UD, so it really wouldn't matter if I was an imposter who replaced the original, since I'd still be the same "Aichon" you've known all along. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:54, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
| |
| *::::I ''was'' going to offer to vouch for you (which I’ve done for people before), but seeing as I’ve been “[[Special:Contributions/Grim_s|Grim s]]” ever since he “[[User_talk:DanceDanceRevolution#Naw.2C_dude|came back]]”, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kujo7V9m0gk well]… {{shifty}} {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 23:51, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
| |
| *::::So if you're an impostor long enough, you become the real thing? What does that say about the original, especially if the original comes back? --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 00:18, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
| |
| *:::::nooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO , Gnome, shhhhhhhhhh dont keep it going, its getting too blue pill (red?) for my feeble little mind [[User:Levi Romero|Gay Butt Negro Thompson]]04:17, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
| |
| *:::::Kinda. It gets back to what an identity is. Many people are named "John Smith", but that doesn't mean they are the same person. Their identity extends beyond their name, and they are separated and recognized by various other items, such as their proximity (e.g. "John Smith from Smallville, Kansas"), appearance, or other identifying marks/items. They are ''all'' the "real thing". None of them is an imposter John Smith until and unless they try to supplant another one and claim that one's identity as their own.
| |
| *:::::Which is to say, being an imposter for long enough does not make you the real thing, but merely having the same name as someone else does not make you an imposter either.
| |
| *:::::Separately, and going back to some of my earlier comments, if someone ''is'' an imposter, it doesn't mean they are the original, but it may not matter that they are an imposter. If two "John Smith" babies got swapped by accident at the hospital, they would both be imposters, but that wouldn't matter to the people they subsequently met. If, 40 years later, someone figured out what had happened, would it suddenly mean that their school grades, careers, or relationships were inauthentic and built upon lies? Not at all! Those would all have been genuine interactions, and the only concern we'd have about an imposter would be if someone tried to claim those accomplishments for their own. Likewise, if I replaced the original "Aichon" the moment after he began his existence, it doesn't mean I'm the original, but it wouldn't have any bearing on the authenticity of my interactions with the folks here, suggesting that proving I'm the original would be a moot point. Unless I'm being accused of murdering him, in which case I suppose I might have valid reasons for wanting to establish my identity, but that would still be a separate issue from the stuff here. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 15:18, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
| |
| *::::::Yeah, but that two babies being swapped at birth is kinda a bad metaphor, anyone who's a parent will tell you they'd want to at least meet the original "John Smith" with the parents actual DNA and stuff, same thing here, what if people don't care that the Aichon they know and love is someone NOT the genuine Aichon, like what if people get so hung up on having the ORIGINAL Aichon, that they are willing to chance that they are a shitty sysop or whatever and try to restore him to power, and oust you like a tyrant who dethroned a crown prince [[User:Levi Romero|Stupid ass points]]17:09, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
| |
| *:::::::The metaphor works fine. I glossed over the parents because they aren't relevant, given that the parents had their interactions before the swap and the topic we're discussing is strictly for interactions after the swap. But, as I said, it's a moot point for all practical purposes. The question presupposes that I would have a need to prove I'm the original, in much the same way that asking, "What steps do you intend to take to get over your drug addiction?" presupposes that you have a drug addiction. But in constructing a scenario that was designed to strip away established trust by removing all contact between the original "Aichon" and the UD community, AHLG also stripped away the need for an imposter to build upon trust in the first place, since they would have earned everything they had on their own.
| |
| *:::::::As for "restoring him to power", not only is it impossible, given that he never had it to begin with (nor do I for that matter, since sysops don't really have any power, other than the ability to mop things up :P), but the notion makes about as much sense as suggesting we should swap the careers of the John Smiths, even though each of them rightfully earned their respective places. All of the interactions between the UD community and ''an'' "Aichon" would have been with me, so while I may not be the original "Aichon", it wouldn't matter, either to the UD community or to me.
| |
| *:::::::That said, it does make for an interesting existential crisis of identity, even if it's a moot point for all practical purposes. ;) {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 18:13, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

| *:I'm of two minds on the subject. On the one side, it's my earnest desire to give people in the community every opportunity they need to voice dissent, should there be any problems with the way in which I conduct myself. On the other side, this procedure has become a bit of a rubber-stamp affair over the years, and is generally just a lot of patting ourselves on the back for maintaining the status quo. I think the system should be reformed to deal with both topics, but until we do so, we should abide by the current system, since abridging the process will mean taking away an expected window of opportunity for people who are dissatisfied with my tenure to voice their opinion in an official capacity. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 18:10, 24 August 2015 (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.
