Hillyan News - The News Of Your Planet

We have 7 administrators and 2 global moderators. However, only Administrators Denden666piek and The Evil Reaper (sometimes FutureFish) and moderator Ralexand appear on a regular basis. What I'm trying to suggest is to implant a new rule in which moderators and administrators that remain inactive for a prolonged period of time should be contacted and be told that should they remain inactive, they will be demoted to either moderator or member status, depending on their current rank.

Again, this is just a suggestion. Discuss at will...

... now.

What are admins... and what are mods :huh: :unsure:

I've chosed the same option.

Hmmm maybe it's something to eat.

I say that unless they've got a good reason for being away and they give some sort of notice, they should get demoted if they're inactive. Part of the reason someone should be a moderator is that they're around a lot so they can do their job.

If they just get cut off for whatever reason and don't get a chance to give any warning, they can say that when they get back and get reinstated or something.

I just had to add the "what are mods and admins" choice as a joke...

I have to agree with Jagori.

Ok, seriously, the makers of the site can never be degraded, that would include Pey'j and Secundo, so that would only leave sheep and homsar (Phil is active at times, I don't want derank him). But I don't really see the use of this. I mean we can make new admins and mods without deranking the old ones right? And it's not like you can force people to stay active...

He is right! :o

Obviously you can't degrade the founders, that would be unethical, but if you choose to be moderator or an admin, you have to realize the responsibility of activeness. So, like mentioned, if you are going to become unactive for a certain reason, you should say something.

why bother to deactivate them. It does not hurt anybody to let them stay admin.

Yeah, we don't delete members who never posted right? So why derank admins and mods? There's no real point in that...

I agree that we should not remove the admin/mod status of those who are no longer active. Every time I think about it myself for a particular admin or mod, they come back and stay active(for a while).

Having said that, I'm not sure about SheepPL. Last activity was on Jan 19 2006, and no posting. During the entire period after the Resurrection, I haven't seen Sheep PL active for even a few seconds.

I don't think we should degrade anyone because of inactivitity,only if its been really long since he/she looked upon the forum. ;)

I want Sheep and Homsar to go. They appeared out of nowhere, didnt show any particular enthusiasm or talent, and got made gods for seemingly no apparent reason. Homsar disappeared after a week never too return, and Sheep left aswell, (but not after being a major dick with his authority.)

As for the "founders" they have bothed moved onto better things apparently

maybe futurefish is right. Most of us never met Homsar or Sheep. We still can let them stay member but of what I hear now they do not desirve to be an admin on this forum.
