Forum:Admins to be deopped?

Forums: Index > Village Dump > Admins to be deopped?

Note: This topic has been unedited for 6645 days. It is considered archived - the discussion is over.

I'm looking through the admin list to see if we need to deop anybody due to inactivity. My concern is that people might ask dead admins for help that they'll never get. My candidates are listed below (and I think in general if a deopped admin returns in earnest, they should probably get their +S back...so none of this is necessarily permanent). I've listed their most recent edits, number of edits since the end of May (almost four months ago), and number of adminly tasks (deletions, etc.) done since May. —rc (t) 04:22, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't know the best way to go about doing this...whether we should vote or what-not...so let's just see what people think of the matter for now. —rc (t) 04:32, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

UPDATE After reading the comments I propose the following:

1. TheTris, Bonalaw and Darkdan deopped altogether due to extremely long peroids of dormancy.
2. BobBobBob, IMBJR, KP and Volte moved to "Dead Sysop" category in Special:Listadmins, barring their return, as a precaution against users asking them for help. They retain their admin powers for the time being. I don't know how to create a new group, so I guess I'd ask Angela or another Wikia person about it.
3. Rcmurphy snazzed up with cement footwear and tossed in the ocean.

Discuss here, please, so people don't have to scroll down to the bottom past all the silliness. —rc (t) 23:06, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Dead Sysop

• Can we not have another category of usertype called Dead_Sysop, so that they may be entombed in a suitable memorial? There they can remain until the time of the Unapocalypse when they will rise to join their comrades in arms in defending Uncyclopedia. -- Sir Mhaille  (talk to me)

• That already exists, see User:Uvula Donor for an example. --IMBJR 16:04, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Ulva Donor is acctually no longer an admin. "15:52, 12 April 2006 Dawg changed group membership for User:Uvula Donor from sysop to (none)" --Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 00:43, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

• I meant in the Admin List, adding "Dead Sysop" as an additional group along with Bot, Sysops, Bureau, CheckUser and Staff. Then we just move the dead ones over to the new group, and move them back if they rise from the dead. -- Sir Mhaille  (talk to me)

I would suggest keeping the dead sysops group with the same permissions as the sysop group (assuming of course that the groups are a collection of permissions and a function like delete an article checks for the "Delete Article" permission rather than wether the user is in the sysop group, if you know what I mean)--The Right Honourable Maj Sir Elvis UmP KUN FIC MDA VFH Bur.

• Comment While I don't quite understand the aversion to deopping people who do little/no op work, especially when it's easily reversible, putting them in a separate Dead Admins category is all right. I just don't want people asking them for help when there's no help to be given. —rc (t) 03:44, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment. Because we all intend to do little or no op work sometime in the future RC... except maybe you, I guess...--<<>> 13:34, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Doing little op work is the status quo for me. The trick is just to do it consistently so nobody notices how little you actually do. —rc (t) 21:41, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Maybe we could de-op them, and then dead-op them? Deadop could be just like op, exept they wouldn't be on the list, and thus no one would ask them questions? --Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 21:47, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Don't you mention my name on this list of suck up little shits who want to be admin so bad that if you admins added "Must distrubute porn of yourself all over Uncyclopedia" to the list of things to need to be an admin, they would all jump at the idea, and comply immidiatly. Hmmm...a wee bit harsh, you ask? Well yes, but it did get my point across about this list and all lists like it (there was an "admin me" user box awhile ago *gag*). --Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 22:44, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

No, Harsh enough, but I thought they got rid of that requirement last month? (We have enough "porn of yourelf" on Uncyc than we need." Besides, isn't this a joke header? Hence Spang there.--Witt, of UNion Entertain me* 01:59, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

No. If you look in the history, when this section of the page was made (by Sev) it was titled "Users Wishing to be Opped in a Wild Frenzy Style First Come First Opped Fashion". Seems like the kind of stuff that this kind of user would sign eh? Well, I'm not that kind of user! --Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 02:08, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Hmmmm...so, let me guess, you spelt my name wrong on porpose cause you know it pisses me off, but thats all right cause its a joke?

I'd sure as hell not distribute anything immediately. I suck no ones balls! ZombieBaron is the harshest mother fucking Canadian I've ever come in contact with. He'll always be harsh, and his harsh, abrasive 60grit sandpaper mentality will drive most people to the grave, only to end up serving him in Death. I hereby remove my name from the dumb list I created...I've only got 6 months time here...c'mon lets me realistic. Wikimegalomania is not my bag.-- Sir Severian (Sprich mit mir!) 01:59, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

RAWR! IT IS SPELT "Zombiebaron" NOT "ZombieBaron"!!!! ZombieBaron is my sockpuppet... --Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 02:10, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

So this wasn't a joke header? It seemed like it when you were complaining on IRC.--Witt, of UNion Entertain me* 02:04, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

It was a JOKE HEADER!!!!!!!! I was the one who made it.....The joke, I hoped would get put across was, "The deopping question has been going around for a while, and I thought it was funny that if so many were getting deopped, you would need to fill the void in super quick, hence the Frenzy bullshit title I made." Codeine changed it, then I reverted him, got banned, and added two more subtitles, because I know it's gay. I don't have the experience to be an admin...Zombiebaron does, and he prally should be in the near future, like sooner than soon, but to see one of us "little shits" get opped before him would be awful and I would actually turn it down. What do you mean, by "this kind of user?" am I an asshole?Do I squint periodically or twitch?-- Sir Severian (Sprich mit mir!) 02:19, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Well...Wow...That's a nice thing to say about a fellow, thanks. Oh, and I mean that users who are new to Uncyclopedia look at the admins and say "Wow, I wish I could do that". It is my belife that only once you can say "I don't give a damn about being a sysop" are you really ready to be a sysop. In the past we have seen what happens when newer users become ops, and then become bitter, and stop writing funny articles. So, basicly by "kind of user" I ment knew/inexperienced/not knowlegable about what admins acctually do. This is in no way an invitation for votes for anybody for anything. --Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 02:26, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

At any rate, I'm tempted to give you a timeout, ZB. But I won't. I'll leave that up to Jesus. —Correspondent Hin Arash, PRAA [TALK] [KUN] (02:23, 28 September 2006 (UTC))

Give me one sound reason why I should be banned, and I will accept it. However I can't find a reason by myself ;) --Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 02:27, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

"Divine intervention?" No, wait, that's GOD!'s shtick. Anyway, I said I'ld leave it to Jesus. —Correspondent Hin Arash, PRAA [TALK] [KUN] (02:37, 28 September 2006 (UTC))

Yes, but you also said you were tempted to ban me, which leads me to belive that you have some kind of reason to ban me which you are not willing to share. --Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 00:07, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh noes! You are about to get Banned from the Internet! Head for the hills! They don't need a reason, because these new admins are part of the New World Order and clearly you stand in their way. Why? Because the Burgerbuilders said so, that's why! --2nd_Lt Orion Blastar (talk) 23:53, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

When Bill Clinton was President of the USA, he would personally eat the bodies of the old SYSOPS and spit out the bones. Now they just behead them and burn them so there is no evidence of a CABAL. That is the way the New World Order works now, because the Burgerbuilders say so. --2nd_Lt Orion Blastar (talk) 12:12, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

"The Cabal" in this case, would be defined as the new admins, who are conspiring to get rid of the old ones, in order to rule Uncyclopedia with an iron fist of BURNINATION. --Nerd42Talk 21:19, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

They'd do a lot better if they held a beer bash first to rally up support for the new admins. --2nd_Lt Orion Blastar (talk) 22:37, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

The cabal (TINC) is just an amusing invention of bored minds between episodes of Star Trek. But... some of us do get hungry from time to time and Sysop meat is 50% more nutritious than regular user meat. Studies have showed it. ~ T. (talk) 17:35, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

For some reason, I think the Cabal is a fictional device created by the people in power as a joke to pseudo-justify some of their actions. There really isn't a Cabal. Crazyswordsman...With SAVINGS!!!! (T/C) 14:21, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes. That. Is. Correct. --Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 00:11, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Dude, that's not even a joke. The truth is that, on Wikipedia, there is a deletionist Cabal (if you participated in the Userbox debate on Wikipedia, then you know there is one).
