With all respect to those affected concerns were
raised about inactive
Admins on various community pages in March & April. Discussion on the
policy started in May and was advertised on the Village pump and the
Admin board. The vote when it took place was also advertised similarly.
And yet only 33 people voted or commented at all.
I guess it surprises me that people who consider
themselves active do
not watch such pages. Equally be signing up to request retaining the
rights they retain the rights for six months at least. My fervent hope
would be that they again become active admins on Commons however the
only way they would not have known about the discussion is because they
rarely read community pages on Commons.
Yes, I rarely read community pages on Commons. I rarely and certainly
don't reliably read community pages on en.wikipedia either, and I'm an
Arbcom member and long-standing admin there. Frankly, I find them
tedious in the extreme, and largely filled with endless re-hashing of
disagreements of no interest to me.
Neither board is a place just for important announcements, as far as I an tell.
