====Support====


====Oppose====
# '''Oppose.''' While this user has been a fine sysop in the past, 5+ years of inactivity shows a lack of continued interest in the role. I thank them for their previous work. [[User_talk:Horrible|horrible]] | [[Special:Contributions/Horrible|contribs]] 16:09, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
# '''Oppose.''' Inactive for too long. [[User:Steve1|Steve1]] ([[User talk:Steve1|talk]]) 16:55, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
# '''Oppose.''' I endorse removal of sysop rights for this user. Their last period of intense activity was 2009, with their last batch of admin deletions in 2010. I'm going to blame this user (<3)for my OCD when it comes to file naming and categorization. -[[User talk:Chieftain Alex|'''Chieftain '''Alex]] 17:25, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
# '''Oppose.''' Due to administrator's inactivity for more than 9 years. [[User:Dmitri Fatkin|Dmitri Fatkin]] ([[User talk:Dmitri Fatkin|talk]]) 14:03, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
# '''Oppose.''' 10 years inactivity is a long time for an admin. [[User:Sime|Sime]] ([[User talk:Sime|talk]]) 00:35, 1 June 2020 (UTC)


====Neutral====

# '''Neutral.''' I've been keeping track of the wiki (despite my dead edit history) and I can agree with the spirit of the discussions. Not many people are left here from the old crew, and after almost a decade, I can see the merit of cleaning up redundancies. Perhaps it is more useful to new users who don't want to sift through a sea of sysops that may or may not answer questions or react in a timely manner to a situation. It might also reduce the chance of an old account being compromised and causing havok with blanket bans and deletes. However, no matter how old a wiki is or how little work there is to do, I don't like the precedent of removing community-earned privileges solely on the basis of inactivity or a lack of work.
::Ultimately, my question is this: What does this solve? If we add a new core group of active administrators, what will they do that our current group cannot? Additionally, what does removing our list of inactive administrators do for the long-term health of the wiki? Active edits aren't necessary for us to be here in case something happens. Ultimately, I'm not sure I see what the end-goal here is beyond making the list look nicer. The activity-categories are there for a reason, and I'm not sure I like the idea of removing tools from a member solely because it's been a while.
::That being said, I still do see the merits of cleaning up and making things easier for anyone trying to contact an active sysop. I just don't see enough positives to give full support to the idea. --[[File:User Wandering Traveler Sig2.png|19px]] [[User:w.t.|Traveler]] ''([[User talk:w.t.|talk]])'' 21:14, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
