RFA will not increase it's promotion rate whatever you do unless we
reach the point of very near fall over due to lack of admins. People
have been trying for 2 years and it hasn't worked yet.
So we look at maximising our current admin resources. Most of our
current processes are about efficient as they can be without
introducing a large number of admin bots.
The hyper-actives are already likely doing all they can.
I would rather not be trying to push fairly active admins into being
hyper-actives
Thus we are left with two options:
Bots
Get more admin work out of the near inactive as admins admins.
The first has been historically rejected by the community whenever
anyone has asked.
The second has not really been tried. Getting those who are not using
their admin powers at this time to temporarily step down would have
the added benefit of producing an identifiable group of respectable
non admins hopefully lowing the significance of adminship in people's
minds.
