:::::::Since discussion has pretty much dried up here and no one seems to be in opposition, I'm going to go ahead and make the changes per [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/The_Sims_Wiki:Policy#Amendment this] - ...this consensus may be gathered through informal discussion on the talk page... If anyone has any issues feel free to continue this thread and we'll go for a formal consensus period. {{WHsig|22:38, March 7, 2012 (UTC)}}
:::::::::I like these new policies, but shouldn't we add a period of inactivity for the admins so that the consideration of which admins are inactive doesn't become too subjective? Like, one month, for example? Thank you. --[[User:RoseGui|<span style="color:orange">RoseGui</span>]][[File:Thanks rose.png]] <small>([[User talk:RoseGui|<span style="color:orange">talk here</span>]])</small> 09:48, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
== Inactive administrators policy and Absence ==
I've noticed there are a couple, if not more, users who are listed as being absent but have not provided an estimated date of return. Whilst I'm not jumping to conclusions here, I've discovered that listing yourself as being absent for an unknown period of time can be used to circumvent the inactive administrators policy.
While I am aware of a policy that states "''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.''" but this can be a double edged sword as a) the user may have something happening irl that prevents them from being here on a long-term basis and/or b) they may indeed be trying to circumvent the inactive administrators policy.
I would like to propose an amendment which states that if an admin knows they are going to be absent/inactive on a long-term basis then they should resign their rights. I think that 3 months is a good cut off point but I'd like to discuss this proposal with other administrators/bureaucrats. {{GGsig}} 20:10, May 13, 2012 (UTC)
