That's why I suggested a random sample of 100 - subject only to some fairly low level conditions that indicate a willingness to stick around, and no obvious signs of dementia.
But that way you are already skewing the statistics. Someone who is *not* intending to stick around, but would still end up sticking around, would fall through your sieve.
Are you suggesting no conditions at all? What I'm suggesting is really low level stuff. If somebody stuck around for 2 or 3 daya a month ago, and maybe put together a good series of edits, but we haven't seen him since what's the point of making him an admin if we're not going to see him around again.
I'd like to see the whole system liberalized so that it works. I'm sure willing to allow a few easy conditions for the sake of having it happen. That's a lot more important than making some ideological point.
