User:CK/IP Draft

Current Inactivity policy Most of the time, we revoke user rights from people who don't need it, and they might come back saying "Why did I lose my right". I think as a community that we need to make it clear, and have a set time before the administration has to do something rather than having an admin go "Um... should I revoke rights from this user?"

Rollbacks

 * If you are actively editing, but do not use your rights, you will be revoked from your rollback rights 21 days after you last used the rollback tool.
 * If you are inactive without the administration knowing, you will be revoked from your rollback rights 14 days after you last made an edit.
 * If you are inactive with a valid reason, but hasn't edited after 3 months, you will lose your rollback rights.

An exception to rollbacks demoted because of the right being unused is if there is little or no vandalism, giving the user no chance to revert. This is because it is not their fault for not reverting.

Admins

 * The administration and/or community will decide when to revoke rights the user.

Bureaucrats

 * The administration and/or community will decide when to revoke rights the user.

Inactivity
Since you will see the term inactivity numerous times in this policy, we will describe exactly what it means in this instance.


 * In the case of rollback inactivity, it means not editing the wiki for a certain period of time, it doesn't include the IRC.
 * For administrators and bureaucrats, inactivity is up for discretion. In general it would mean low edits on the wiki as well as not going on the IRC very often. However, if a user mainly goes on IRC, but also patrols the Fanon's recent changes page, that may also be considered as active.
 * For all instances of inactivity without a reason, a user most have below 20 edits each month for the three months, and little-to-no IRC presence to be considered as inactive.
 * Although these are the standards, the administration may also follow the common sense rule when deciding if a user has been inactive or not.

Rollbacks

 * If a user is actively editing, but does not use their rights, they will be revoked from their rollback rights 21 days after you last used the rollback tool.
 * If there is little to no vandalism on the site, a user may not be demoted for lack of using the right, as it is not their fault.


 * If a user is inactive for over a month, with no given reason, the administration may choose to revoke the rollback right.
 * If a user is inactive with a valid reason, but hasn't edited after 3 months, they will lose their rollback rights.

There is no simple way to regain these rights, you must earn them again and pass consensus.

Admins

 * If an administrator has been inactive without a reason for three months, they shall be demoted.
 * If an administrator is inactive for three months with a valid reason, they may be given leniency depending on the urgency of their reason. Revoking the rights after that point is up to administrative and community discretion.

Re-promotion

 * If a demoted administrator has returned to the site and wishes to regain their former rights, they must go through a series of steps beforehand.
 * The user must be active on the wiki (not just IRC) for a minimum of three weeks before they can request to regain their rights. This is to test their loyalty, and make sure that the user plans on staying active on the wiki for the foreseeable future.


 * After the user requests to regain their rights back on an administrator's talk page, the current administration can discuss and reach a consensus to either approve or deny their request.
 * Note: The administration must have a valid reason for denying a request.

Bureaucrats

 * If a bureaucrat has been inactive without a reason for three months, they shall be demoted.
 * If a bureaucrat is inactive for three months with a valid reason, they may be given leniency depending on the urgency of their reason. Revoking the rights after that point is up to administrative and community discretion.

Re-promotion

 * If a demoted bureaucrat has returned to the site and wishes to regain their former rights, they must go through a series of steps beforehand.
 * The user must be active on the wiki (not just IRC) for a minimum of three weeks before they can request to regain their rights. This is to test their loyalty, and make sure that the user plans on staying active on the wiki for the foreseeable future.


 * After the user requests to regain their rights back on an administrator's talk page, the current administration can discuss and reach a consensus to either approve or deny their request. If approved, the user can only be given administrator rights.
 * Note: The administration must have a valid reason for denying a request.


 * If they wished to regain their full bureaucrat rights, they must be an administrator for one full month before following the standard promotion process and being approved by the community.
