Forum:My $0.02 on "crises", spam, beurecrats, etc.

I've been here a while, and check for messages, maybe, monthly, and have checked up on you guys a few times since I "quit", and have got a few tips for you, feel free to consider them:


 * Inactive Sysops: can be a problem, but all that the inactive accounts are doing cluttering up space. They don't really matter - my recommendation is to shuffle around all of the admins so they must earn all of their ranks, and demote the TRULY inactive editors. If there are users that only edit occasionally (like myself), then I recommend you give them a message, and if they don't respond after, say, 4-6 months, then demote them. You may want to email them about it or whatever.
 * This would probably help reduce clutter and complaining, because a lot of people seem to think that the reason you have "crises", etc, is because of the amount of admins. I think otherwise.


 * Once again "I'm quitting" bawww-fests. Quitting being used as a "weapon", etc. My tip is to completely ignore it, and reinforce this with deleting their posts/banning. Many users, after being coaxed, and then pampered (EG: sockpuppets). Another method is simply to say "goodbye, we won't miss you". If someone quits, but makes no messages about it, then that's ok, because they aren't just trying to get attention. On the other hand, if you quit, and make a show about it, you are most likely going to be in it for attention.
 * Sysops/bureaucrats abusing their power - All I can recommend is that they have a more friendly face, more open discussions, more warnings, etc. Shorter bans, and little permanent-bans. Why? So people can put forward their ideas without fear of retribution.
 * Speaking of which, what's with this whole democratic deal? CPW doesn't need to be democratic. It needs an efficient governing system. If the current bureaucrats are doing their jobs, there is no need for elections, and if they aren't, then we can request to Wikia staff to have them taken down.
 * Non-related stuff: My recommendation is to leave it out, as, once more, clutter, and the very fact it could go elsewhere. Let's take the SWC, which could go in Wookipedia easily.
 * I'm really tired, but if you want tips or anything, give me a buzz on my talk page.
