Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism. Administrator powers should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. Ideally an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community. |

== Inactive Administrator Policy == |
|||
In order to ensure that most, if not all, administrators on {{SITENAME}} are active participants in the community, {{SITENAME}} has adopted an Inactive Administrator Policy. The policy is as follows: |
|||
# All administrators are expected to remain as active contributors to the content namespace on the wiki, as well as active participants in the wiki community. Bureaucrats shall, on an individual basis, determine if an administrator has become inactive and shall notify the administrator of their inactivity. |
|||
# Admins should be given a reminder up to a week before their rights are to be revoked. |
|||
# 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. |
|||
# If an admin knows they will be inactive for a prolonged/unknown period of time (3 months or longer), they should step down and they may request to be reinstated at any time. A user who has been absent for 3 months, who hadn't stepped down beforehand, will have their rights revoked as if they had become inactive and they'll have 6 months to request to be reinstated before they're required to go through another [[The Sims Wiki:Requests for administratorship|RfA]]. Special cases to extend or revoke an administratorship may be brought to the attention of current administrators. If an administrator is banned permanently from {{SITENAME}}, their rights are automatically revoked. |

''The Inactive Administrator Policy has taken effect as of August 28, 2010, and was amended on the 20th of May, 2012'' |
