*So you're agreeing with me that your current proposal here is utterly incoherent? —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 02:00, December 3, 2019 (UTC)

{{VoteAgainst}} '''Oppose'''. I'm not really in the mood to rehash ancient history, so I'll just say that there were several good reasons why the Inactive Admin Policy was repealed in the first place, and few if any of those reasons have changed. The main things to note: it's hard to define whether someone is "active" or "inactive," and thus hard to form a policy around that; this kind of policy can encourage low-effort or low-value contributions by administrators/bureaucrats in order to maintain their rights; and we have no ability to demote inactive bureaucrats, whose rights can be removed only by themselves or by Wikia/FANDOM staff. It should be noted that, when the policy was in effect, Staff outright refused to enforce it, on the grounds that Staff only demote local bureaucrats if they've done something to deserve it; simply being inactive isn't grounds for removal, from their perspective. For what it's worth, I happen to agree with that assessment, and thus my opposition to reinstating the policy goes beyond the practical challenges of doing so. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LostInRiverview</span>]]^{[[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]}''' 03:03, December 3, 2019 (UTC)
