Forum:Sysop trial periods

Something that recently came to my attention was Sysop activity times. While I can understand a user having to become inactive due to personal reasons, users that choose to stop editing because they don't want to any more can be an issue. For example, Capt. Miller recently made a blog proclaiming he was thniking of going inactive soon, as he sees no reason to continue editing; "Since I'm an admin, reached 10000 edits and crossed off nearly all of my targets, I feel I have fully finished wiki editing, and don't need to edit anymore. This is the same thing that happened to me in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. When I reached the elusive rank of Prestige Master, I barely touch the game anymore, and rarely play it.". Now frankly, admin rights should be given to users that are going to use the wiki to better it, not as some kind of achievement. Furthermore, Miller only received these user rights last month, so him leaving now has hardly made use of said rights, meaning while there's no issue with having multiple sysops, we do now have another inactive one that we may never see again. For this reason, I feel any user that gets given sysop rights should maintain an acceptable level of activeness for a set of time in order to keep said rights. Now this will bear in mind personal predicaments, as well if people are going on holiday and such. But for instances such as this, where a user is leaving purely because they don't feel there is nothing more to do, which with the release of AW coming up is pretty much the opposite, is just a detriment to the wiki, and makes giving out the user rights seemingly pointless if said user has no real desire to stick around and actually use them. 15:43, August 23, 2014 (UTC)
