Club Penguin Wiki:Archive/Sharkbate's Admin Right

I know I'm doing this without anybody else knowing, but it's only effective if it's a "surprise" and not a "demotion warning". Look, Sharkbate has had his admin right since this summer, and since September 4, 2011 (2 and a half months ago), he's done nothing with his admin rights on the wiki itself. I know he's active on IRC, but that is not good enough for an admin. See Special:Logs/Sharkbate and Special:Contributions/Sharkbate.

I know he's busy working on a game called Planet Polar Bear for the wiki, but as an administrator, two and a half months of nothing on the wiki itself simply isn't acceptable. There has to be at least one user out there who may need the right more, and with some training, they could also turn out to be a great admin.

I'm not mad at Sharkbate. He's a great user, but I just want him and the community to realize that there isn't a point of having an administrator right when they don't necessarily need the right. This also does not prevent him from getting the right back in the future when he really does need it. It's about time where it's long enough to open up this forum. And simply editing and maintaining the wiki now because you know there's a demotion forum doesn't convince me that you'll need your rights still. --LordMaster96 05:49, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Demote Sharkbate? (+2)

Yes (4)

3. Nothing against Sharkbate, but he has not edited in a long time. Per what Sea said, you don't need to edit 24/7 to be an admin, but he hasn't edited since September. --ClubPenguinMaster • Talk 20:22, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
4. I vote for yes because 2 1/2 months isn't acceptable. And to Seahorse: I know you don't have to edit 24/7, but 2 1/2 MONTHS? That is a different story! Plus he is 17 years old, he is busy, he is working on a game, most likely he won't edit much. He might edit a little after he sees this, but after 5 days, he will stop. Brookelas

No (3)

1. He has a lot more experience than most of you. You don't need to edit articles 24/7 to be an administrator. He is on IRC every day and is around to attend to requests if ever needed. If anyone on this place can be trusted with admin rights, Sharkbate is definitely number 1 on that list. --Seahorseruler ^{(Talk Page) (Contribs)} 19:45, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
2. Nonononono! This is ShrimpPin (sorry, the cookies thing won't let me log in X'( ). Definitely do NOT demote Shark! He has so much experience with techy stuff that probably only he and Sea understand. Even if he can do that job without Admin rights, he still always is happy to help out whenever there's a problem. Please think about what you're doing before you demote him.

1. Nope. Just Nope. Shark is techy, and I think only Sea and Him understand that. Though he is inactive, he deserves to still be an admin. --Wonderweez • Talk to meh 00:51, 19 November 2011 (UTC)Wonderweez

• I really don't know what to vote for, I think Shark should have his last chance.... On the other hand, he was demoted for inactivity 2 times on the past... --PenblooeR © 2011 21:01, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
• Seahorse, as I've said, besides being on IRC, has he done anything with his given rights for almost 1/4 of the year? No. Being on IRC is a great live communication tool, but compared to our days at Wikia (and even since then we considered admins on IRC to be at least partially active), admins could've used Wikia CVN to know if there's vandalism without logging in, but since the move, we have no CVN, and without checking the wiki, there is no way of knowing there's vandalism. My point now is that being an administrator but only being active on IRC would have the scale tipped towards the inactive side more. --LordMaster96 00:22, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

• I can't believe I blew it yet again. Whatever then. Vote for what you believe. To be honest though, do you see Hat Pop or Seahorse editing constantly? Nope. Nothing against them, obviously, but it's true. By LM's logic, all of us should be demoted. In my opinion, there's barely anything to edit now a days and on top of that, I have PPB to work on, especially with people asking about it. If I stop it just to find a page with one tiny error (which would take hours, look at how many pages there are!), then PPB would be delayed yet again. So go ahead, demote me. Just don't expect me to take anymore time out of PPB to come back. Smile smile. --$harkbate ^{Talk Page} 00:40, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
