UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Update Reevaluation Procedure
Overview
The idea, specifically, is extending the one week of discussion to two weeks, much like other promotion procedures like sysops bids and crat elections. Making it two weeks does no harm, and can easily lead to more input of more users. Seeing as the sysops position is a valuable one, more input can only benefit both the community and the re-evaluation candidate at hand, not to mention making it more easier for crats to make a well-rounded decision.
Suggested Change
Current policy, changes outlined in red and strikes
Once the candidate has reached their eight month mark from their promotion to sysop or put themselves up for re-evaluation (see below), the user is then subject to a community discussion. All users are asked to comment on the 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 one week two weeks, as all users get a chance to air their opinions on the candidate. The reason for only one week for discussions is due to the high-profile nature of the sysops, and most users should be familiar with them.
Once the one week is up two weeks are up, the Bureaucrats will review the community discussion and make a decision based upon it. The user will be notified of the status of their request, 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 themselves for promotion.
