I would also say that if an Admin returns after their rights are revoked, they should be able to receive them back with little or no problem, unless they were absent a really really long time. :What do you mean? Nominating people for admin? You can always just leave a message on their talk page, encouraging them to apply. This obviously can't be done at the moment of course, since we're not in need of any more admins at the moment.

Don't think there's a policy, let's handle it when it happens.~~ :The downside of having an inactive admin who are still listed, is that users with questions or concerns might try to contact them (despite the 'inactive' tag on the admin page). I would say that if the users hasn't actively participated in any admin activites in 6 months, their right will be revoked. Should they ask for it to be reinstated it should be done so immidiately. This suggestion has a small catch though: How do we define 'active admin participation'? :Also, if an admin knows he's gonna either stop playing or knows he isn't gonna feel like contributing, then of course he should step down. 6 months of total inactivity with no contributions should revoke admin rights, with the possibility of instant reinstatement if they return.

I also think that admin rights should be temporarily revoked after 3 months of inactivity. 3 months is a long time and the admin is bound to have alot of reading to do to catch up with changes done while he or she was gone. When the admin returns he/she can get their admin status back by contact a beaurocrat and announcing that they're back for active admin duty. So for The Sims Wiki we could define 'inactive admin' as "no contributions for 3 months". I would personally still allow special cases where the status isn't revoked, but this might be tricky if this is implemented as a policy. If an admins is gone for 2 months, then comes on and does a minor spelling edit, (s)he should still have admin status revoked a month later. Admin revocation (is that a word?) should be up for discussion by beaurocraft and sys-ops alike.

Something like 'This admin is currently inactive, please direct any questions you may have to an active admin'. Apart from the customized countdown, a page like [[User:Bleeh\|Bleeh]]'s encourages people to use her talk page. The situation is the same with admins who haven't contributed for awhile.

Perhaps inform those who have applied that their applications are being denied for the time being because of a lack of need for more admins, but to give them admin powers later if needed (think like a waiting list). Plus, this page is also used by users requesting rollback priviledges or bureaucrat status, as well as other "special" titles, so I don't think it should be closed for them either. -- [[User:LostInRiverview\|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview\|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview\|blog]])([[Special:Random\|random page]])</small> 16:38, July 19, 2010 (UTC) ~~I think we don't need anymore admins but we need more rollback and bureaucrats.--[[User:Monster2821\|Danny(Monster2821)]] 18:48, July 19, 2010 (UTC)~~ Do you think we have enough new RfA archives to move to "The Sims Wiki:Requests for administratorship/Archive 6" or should we wait until more RfAs have been archived? -- '''[[User:C.Syde65\|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65\|<font color="black">talk</font>]] \| [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65\|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 04:09, August 21, 2014 (UTC) ~~== When should i request bureaucratship ==~~ :Those are the "old" archives, which are no longer being used. --'''[[:User:K6ka\|k6ka]]''' ([[:User talk:K6ka\|talk]] \| [[:Special:Contributions/K6ka\|contribs]]) 10:16, August 21, 2014 (UTC) ~~When should i request bureaucratship?--[[User:Monster2821\|Danny(Monster2821)]] 18:52, July 21, 2010 (UTC)~~ ::Yes.

Personally, I like the new archives as they aren't all cluttering in one big page. However, if you are really wanting to archive them, you can probably do them by month. But, I think something like that should be decided by the community as a whole.

And 'bumping' discussions on the same day they are written is bad practice. At the moment we only have a single active bureaucrat: a morris. I'm sure she will set up some guidelines for being a bureaucrat soon. In the meantime I have to point out that there's much more to a bureaucrat than post count and time spent on the wiki. See [[:Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Bureaucrats\|Wikipedia:Bureaucrats]] as an example.
