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)

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'm sorry if you don't allow this, Seahorseruler, but I just wanted to weigh in here. Nobody can deny that Sharkbate is a great user and a real help to this wiki. The thing is just that he hasn't edited in a long time. There's no point in having an administrator who does nothing (this is what other people have previously described as a "power vacuum"). You can't just keep someone an administrator just because they have been a part of the wiki for a long time. Nothing can last forever. And Sk8r, no, I am not simply just doing this to destroy the wiki. I may have some flaws, but I'm not as bad as some people think I am. But that's another story. I think that is best to demote Sharkbate, though this is a tough decision. I understand why some people could disagree with me, but I think that it is all for the best.--THE RULER AND DICTATOR OF AWESOME HAS ARRIVED _{TALK TO HIM, OR ELSE...} YOU WILL BE FORCED TO SEE HIS TEMPLATES! 21:29, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
5. 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

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.

• 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)
