: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.

== My Rfa timer has expired ==
No,because what if an inactive admin comes back,then the admin whould be shocked.Also,on another wiki there was debate over this policy.--[[User:Monster2821|Monster2821]] 06:35, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
:Inactive admins could be warned before the policy/revocation goes into effect. Can you give a link to the debate? --[[User:A_morris|a_morris]] <small>([[User_talk:A_morris|talk]])</small> 14:24, July 11, 2010 (UTC)


Just a reminder that my request for administrator-ship discussion timer has expired. By the looks of things, I won't be an administrator this time. No worries, I could always re-nominate myself or be nominated in future :) -- '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 18:08, June 29, 2014 (UTC)
===Yes===
I think an Admin's rights should be revoked after a long absence - I'm not sure exactly how long that would be, but I would say something in excess of 6 months from the last time they made any real contribution to the wiki (so editing a talk page or userpage won't count) - I'm only saying 6 months as a base suggestion. 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.

On a related note, is there a policy for revoking the rights of a "rogue" admin (let us hope this never happens)? -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])</small> 16:04, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

== Archiving the current set of new archives ==
:'rogue' admins can be reported to other admins and they'll take action based on what it's about. Don't think there's a policy, let's handle it when it happens.


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RfA archives to move to "The Sims Wiki:Requests for administratorship/Archive 6" or should we wait until more RfAs have been archived?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>]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 04:09, August 21, 2014 (UTC)
: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'?


:Those are the "old" archives, which are no longer being used. --'''[[:User:K6ka|k6ka]]''' ([[:User talk:K6ka|talk]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/K6ka|contribs]]) 10:16, August 21, 2014 (UTC)
: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.

== R.F.A. be closed. ==


::::I believe the new archive layout was created not long after the total revamp of the procedures of RfA's and RfB's. 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.
