UDWiki:Administration/Re-Evaluations

Shortcut:
A/RE

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.

Re-Evaluations still open for discussion

My A/RE is due tomorow but there's no real point waiting. Don't really have much to say, been an op for 2 years, spent a cumulative year of it as a crat, both times filling the void where more favourable crats either left or withdrew. I happily spend time on udwiki as a user or an op so no matter how this evaluation goes I'll be around regardless.

Will happily answer any questions, etc. -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 07:43, 17 June 2011 (BST)

• Vouch - No questions needed. DDR is sensible, fair and there's no reason why he shouldn't remain a sysop.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 08:47, 17 June 2011 (BST)
• Strong Vouch - DDR is experienced and good at what he does, and other than the candidate blindly chosen by the dead, he was the most popular at the last crat election.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 10:07, 17 June 2011 (BST)

• Vouch - DDR has his moments on the opinion pages, but overall, he does a decent job. Not my favourite op by a long shot, but worth to be kept around. -- Spiderzed█ 15:02, 17 June 2011 (BST)

• Vouch Spider pretty much sums up my thoughts. I often disagree with him but i do trust him not to purposely fuck things up. --Honestmistake 18:40, 17 June 2011 (BST)
• Strong Vouch - I know he's not the most popular, especially with certain groups, but he does good work. He's smart enough to know the difference between the rules that matter and technicalities that don't, he's good at admitting when he's wrong, and he's not afraid to speak his mind. —Aichon— 19:59, 17 June 2011 (BST)

• Strong Vouch - Best sysop we have. The fact that he's not considered "popular" by the local tribes of idiots but still manages to breeze through this re-evaluation is a testament to this. Also the only modern wiki survivor of my favorite Australian club. -- Thadeous Oakley Talk 20:40, 17 June 2011 (BST)

  That means something coming from his biggest mistake. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 23:01, 24 June 2011 (BST)

  I'm not sure I ever promised or offered any displays in my time here, but have often accepted requests. Speels once challenged me to a dance-off in DDR to which I accepted, but he later withdrew, and I think I have given Revenant a picture of myself dancing circa 08 too, when I had long hair. If I have promised lots of dancing in the past, I have probably forgotten and failed on that promise. If I also promised a revolution, well, if this passes, 8 months is a long time ;) -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 06:01, 19 June 2011 (BST)

• Abstain - It doesn't matter if the entire page was filled with nothing but Againsts, he'd get re-elected anyway. - Goribus 08:09, 19 June 2011 (BST)

  Given that it's Ross and Revenant as 'crat, I doubt that would be the case if the page was filled with Against comments. —Aichon— 18:48, 19 June 2011 (BST)

  Especially since Rev will probably just demote him anyway.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 19:04, 19 June 2011 (BST)

  I'm curious what it would take tochange our vote. What actions could DDR do that would make it clear to you he's not fit yonnua? --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 20:44, 19 June 2011 (BST)

  He could consistently harass new wiki users, make absurd or biased rulings on cases or be completely inactive. If he harassed users in general or generally performed actions which would put the sysop team in to disrepute, then he'd probably lose my support, unless he had a valid reason for doing so.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 22:27, 19 June 2011 (BST)

  For the DDR of Earth 3 to kidnap and/or murder our DDR and replace him here on the wiki. -- Goribus 21:19, 20 June 2011 (BST)

  That too.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 22:48, 20 June 2011 (BST)

  Oddly enough that'd make me change my vote for him on this too. -- Goribus 04:39, 21 June 2011 (BST)

  Aich' speaks truths. I think Yon is just trying to get me to win a bet for him. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 04:07, 24 June 2011 (BST)

• Against - Ya'll know me still the same ol' G, but I been low key. Hated on by most these niggas with no cheese, no deals and no G's, no wheels and no keys. No boats, no snowmobiles and no ski's. Mad at me cause I can finally afford to provide my family with groceries. Got a crib with a studio and it's all full of tracks to add to the wall full of plaques, hangin up in the office in back of my house like trophies. But ya'll think I'm gonna let my dough freeze. Ho Please. You better bow down on both knees. Who you think taught you to smoke trees? Who you think brought you the o' G's, Eazy-E's Ice Cube's and D.O.C's and Snoop D O double G's, and a group that said muthafuck the police? Gave you a tape full of dope beats to bump when stroll through in your hood. And when your album sales wasn't doin too good who's the doc that he told you to go see? Ya'll better listen up closely. All you niggas that said that I turned pop or the Firm flop, ya'll are the reason Dre ain't been getting no sleep. So fuck ya'll all of ya'll. If ya'll don't like me blow me. Ya'll are gonna keep fuckin around with me and turn me back to the old me. Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say. But nothin comes out when they move their lips, just a buncha gibberish. And muthafuckas act like they forgot about Dre. So what do you say to somebody you hate? Or anybody tryna bring trouble your way? Wanna resolve things in a bloodier way? Just study your tape of NWA. One day I was walkin by with a walkmen on when I caught a guy givin me an awkward eye and strangled him off in the parkin lot with his Karl Kani. I don't give a fuck if it's dark or not. I'm harder than me tryna park a Dodge but I'm drunk as fuck right next to a humungous truck in a two car garage. Hoppin out with two broken legs tryna walk it off. Fuck you too bitch call the cops. I'ma kill you and them loud ass muthafuckin barkin dogs. And when the cops came through me and Dre stood next to a burnt down house with a can full of gas and a hand full of matches and still weren't found out. Right here! From here on out it's the Chronic 2, startin today and tomorrows the new. And I'm still loco enough to choke you to death with a Charleston chew. Chikka chikka, Slim Shady, hotter then a set of twin babies in a Mercedes Benz with the windows up and the temp goes up to the mid 80's. Callin men ladies. Sorry Doc but I been crazy. There is no way that you can save me. It's ok go with him Hailey. If it was up to me you muthafuckas would stop comin up to me with your hands out lookin up to me like you want somethin free. When my last cd was out you wasn't bumpin me. But now that I got this little company everybody wanna come to me like it was some disease. But you won't get a crumb from me cause I'm from the streets of Compton. I told em all, all them little gangstas. Who you think helped mold 'em all? Now you wanna run around and talk about guns like I ain't got none? What you think I sold 'em all? Cause I stay well off? Now all I get is hate mail all day sayin' Dre fell off. What, cause I been in the lab with a pen and a pad tryna get this damn label off? I ain't havin that. This is the millenium of Aftermath. It ain't gonna be nothin after that so give me one more platinum plaque and fuck rap you can have it back. So where's all the mad rappers at? It's like a jungle in this habitat. But all you savage cats knew that I was strapped with gats when you were cuddled with cabbage patch. Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say. But nothin comes out when they move their lips, just a buncha gibberish. And muthafuckas act like they forgot about Dre. --Sonny Corleone ^{DORIS I jizzed in my pants pr0n} 00:29, 20 June 2011 (BST)

• Vouch - Like everyone else I've had my quibbles with ddr, however I've come to greatly appreciate the fact that he actually cares about this wiki and he is here keeping it real. I trust him to stick to his guns when people try to get away with stupid shit. He's got good wikifu, and he is willing to smack down the occasional wiki lawyering cock-monger with a dose of their own medicine.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 22:47, 21 June 2011 (BST)
• Against since today is apparently the last day(why not 2 qeeks?). Your behavior recently and over the last year clearly show you're not currently in a place where you being a sysop outweighs the problems that come with your behavior. I'd cite sources but my phone sucks at C and P. You need a breake and many of the vouches speak to your shitty behavior of recent, even if they do like you and thus overlook it. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 22:58, 24 June 2011 (BST)
• Vouch - Shit Person. Good Admin. - Hibernaculum 02:02, 25 June 2011 (BST)
• Vouch - DDR is good representative for the udwiki. When I was new here, he left me a message when I messed up on putting something in a directory and moved it for me, helping me figure out for future pages how to make it work correctly -- and he did it without making me feel like an idiot for being new at it and making a mistake and being slightly frustrated in my learning curve.. I don't know if I would have stayed on the wiki otherwise if that encounter had gone any other way, but it was a nice first encounter with a sysop for the udwiki. -- Fae Sidhe 21:33, 25 June 2011 (BST)
