Irregular editors and admins

All four are hardly active on meta and have probably never or very rarely acted as admins. For example, Brian Corr last edit was in december. On the other hand, all 4 are still editors and between little active to very active in some languages projects (none have left us).

  • User:Fire was listed last trimester with one opposition for him to stay sysop. Please comment.
so I object again. --Elian 23:49, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Besides Fire, no opposition came during 2005 Q3 and now we are in the beginning of Q4, the time the next round should start. I suppose we can conclude all six listed on the above for Q3 review have been approved. --Aphaia++ 03:36, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

less than 50 edits in a year. Probably remove then. Anthere 11:15, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Who is that guy ?

  • user:Robbot
    • Removal. Was probably a test ? Anthere
    • Keep unless the meta community doesn't support deletion bot; there are some (over hundreds) deletion candidates such a bot might be helpuful including misplaced images whose uploader(s) wanted to upload them to Commons. ah but this account hasn't been reviewed through vote ... so my support becomes a bit weak. --Aphaia 02:45, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Aphaia, this is a bot who is sysop. By definition, this is weird. A sysop is someone bright and able to take informed decision. A bot is ... a bot. What sort of sysop actions can a bot do ? Automatically protecting pages ? Automatically deleting pages ? Automatically banning editors ? If a bot is made sysop, he should run through vote just like others and his activity be explained to editors, because a bot activity is invisible. Having sysop activity invisible strikes me as odd. I have nothing against a deletion bot, but then, it should not have bot flag imho. In short, it seems clear it was a test/mistake as Andre explains and this bot has nothing to do amongst sysop. Anthere
I concur with you currently to desysop this bot; actually it hasn't been reviewed by community so it could be automatically desysoped. As for necessity of deletion bot, perhaps we can find a more suitable discussion place (e.g. Meta talk:Deletion policy or other talk). --Aphaia 18:29, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
