The Sims Wiki:Retirement policy

These policies specifically apply to members of the Administrative team (including Administrators and Bureaucrats). Changes to these policies should be proposed and discussed on the talk page.

Inactive Administrator Policy
In order to ensure that most, if not all, administrators on are active participants in the community,  has adopted an Inactive Administrator Policy. The policy is as follows:


 * 1) An admin is inactive when they do not make a non-minor (examples of minor edits: fixing spelling, participating in discussions unrelated to The Sims or, editing their userpage) or administrative-related (administrative tasks, not necessarily tasks only admins can do) contribution within three (3) months.
 * 2) Admins should be given a reminder up to a week before their rights are to be revoked. (Current inactive admins will also receive a warning when the policy goes into effect.)
 * 3) A former admin can immediately regain their status by contacting a bureaucrat and declaring their intention to return to active duty if the absence is less than six (6) months. If they are inactive for longer than six months they will have to reapply.
 * 4) If an admin knows they will be inactive they should step down. Special cases to extend or revoke an administratorship may be brought to the attention of current administrators. If an administrator is banned permanently from, their rights are automatically revoked.

The Inactive Administrator Policy has taken effect as of August 28, 2010.
