Administration/Re-Evaluations

I did just have one in February. I feel the need to point that out.--– Nubis ^NWO 18:14, 20 August 2009 (BST)

Sorry. Again, it was late at night and going through the user logs over and over again is difficult stuff. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 00:32, 23 August 2009 (BST)

And you could have just changed it yourself, you know. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 00:54, 23 August 2009 (BST)

Archiving REv's

i'd like to suggest that when we archive a sysop re-evaluation, that we place it under UDWiki:Administration/Re-Evaluations/YYYY/MM/Username (where YYYY is the year using four digits, and MM the month's number using two digits, with a leading zero when needed) This way it becomes easier to identify when the re-evaluation took place without having to open the page. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[talk] [wcdz]} 20:46, 22 August 2009 (BST)

I'm curious how you managed to fuck up the time line on my re-eval. You even put in the date of the last one but then couldn't do the math to realize it wasn't 8 months? I'm not DUE until October. --– Nubis ^NWO 22:49, 22 August 2009 (BST)

I only fixed when you were last promoted. When you are due to be re-evaluated again was not of my concern, specially when you are not due to be re-evaluated in said date, not untill all the others on due are to be re-evaluated. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[talk] [wcdz]} 23:43, 22 August 2009 (BST)

Contribs template

Do we already have a contributions link template or something that we can add to a persons evalutation, kinda like what we do on Vandal pages? that way it would be easier to check someone contributions to see how active they are..--THE Godfather of Яesensitized, Anime Sucks ^{Yalk | W! U! WMM| CC CPFOAS LOE ZHU | Яezzens} 17:56, 25 August 2009 (BST)

I've been putting (Talk | Contribs) into A/PM bids lately, I could do the same here? --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 23:20, 31 August 2009 (BST)

Daranz?

Shouldn't Daranz have gone up for Re-evaluation first since it's been about 4 years since he was promoted? =/ -- Cheese 22:41, 27 August 2009 (BST)

Yes, technically he should actually have been up before me.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 23:00, 27 August 2009 (BST)

"Technically"? -- Cheese 23:04, 27 August 2009 (BST)

As in "Per the policy, he should be up first but DDR made a mistake and I didn't see any point in kicking up a fuss about it".--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 23:07, 27 August 2009 (BST)

Alright, I thought by technically there was a reason he was missed out. DDR got most of the promotion times wrong as well. =p I think he started at the top and worked down as opposed to the other way round. -- Cheese 23:09, 27 August 2009 (BST)

lol. rest assured you'll all get your turn ;) --xoxo 05:21, 29 August 2009 (BST)

I ctrl+f'd it all, and in between temporary demotions, evaluations, Grim's demotions and Kevan's subsequent repromotions, things got messy. It was very late too and it had been 24 hours since the policy had passed and no one had done anything about it so I worked to do it even though I was pretty drowsy. I accept that I failed pretty hard though, so sorry to everyone, particularly General. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 09:42, 29 August 2009 (BST)

Quick question. What's up with Boxy's evaluation date? It's before his promotion date. --DBHT 20:46, 3 September 2009 (BST)

The General

Still waiting for the promised activity.-- SA 00:26, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Ho hum, what would we have expected? I said it the day he passed the bid; he should have failed. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 00:32, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Lucky bitch first off the bat. Should have gone to someone who deserved to pass...lets pass a policy that these should be every month. xoxo 09:19, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

DDR

Just explaining why I removed my A/RE bid after a few hours.

UDWiki:Administration/Sysop Check states that my next 'evaluation' is yesterday, but by that it meant the A/BP election currently going on. It was originally set to crat's 8 months A/RE bid but was changed by someone on UDWiki:Administration/Sysop Check. The aim was so that if I don't get re-elected I can then change my "Evaluation Due" section back to when my A/RE is due, 2 moths after the election. There is more discussion about it at UDWiki talk:Administration/Sysop Check, but no one was for changing it back to the logical way. And now this happens. -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 04:24, 2 May 2011 (BST)

Updated with results of Bureaucat election

I've updated it to take into account the results of the bureaucrat election, just wanted to check that the "Next Reevaluation" dates don't change?--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 11:30, 17 May 2011 (BST)

Nah, mine's right. -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 11:52, 17 May 2011 (BST)

Also

I had a promo-bid that was a re-eval before we had the system in place. Should we merge that into the A/RE archives or you guys think we should just leave it?--SA 00:39, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

I think we may have discussed this at one point and decided not to bother changing them... A ZOMBIE ANT 03:04, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Mind to link me to it? It couldn't hurt to categorise it as such, to offer another venue of searching for it. -- Spiderzed█ 14:39, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Here you go!--SA 05:26, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Revising the RE system

I think it is pretty clear that the sys-op team has become extremely static. We have had the same roster for over a year now except for the re-addition of Gnome (who has a pending demotion request). Re-evaluations have become more of an artificial make-work routine, then something that has any impact on the sys-op roster. I think it is time for a radical revision that creates less artificial paperwork, yet gives the community tools to deal with rogue sys-ops should the problem ever again crop up.

I have two radical ideas:

1. Skip the entire recurring RE process, and call for REs only a.) when a Misconduct case comes up (regardless of the outcome) or b.) when a sys-op becomes eligible for a Truly Inactive Sys-Op warning.
2. Skip tracking individual RE dates. Instead, have an annual RE at a set date for all sys-ops at once. (Crats should be included, to avoid an unfair advantage for someone slipping into crat position before the annual date and slipping out after. - Actually, it could be a good idea to shove the crat elections as well into that annual mega-RE, so that we can handle all the meta-administration stuff in one go and not have to worry about any of it for the rest of the year, unless someone actively brings up Misconduct, Demotions, Sys-Op Promotions etc.)

Discuss. -- Spiderzed▋ 10:03, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

Calling a RE immediately after a misconduct decision is not a good idea - too much recent drama (not that that's really an issue around here any more). Putting it before a 'truly inactive' sysop warning is better, but not really ideal (a few sysops - especially on earlier REs used the 'goodwill,' for want of a better word, from the RE to avoid being demoted due to inactivity.)

Having a mega administration week is fine, now that the team is so small. If it got even a little larger, it may become a little unwieldy.

An alternative - don't have automatic re-evaluations. Sysops can be re-evaluated every eight months, but only if a member of the community requests it. In practise, most sysops will request it themselves, I'm guessing. Linkthewindow  Talk  14:47, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
