Removing inactive admin Options

[Ottava]

Anyone notice this? Or that on Meta it was listed and used to desysop a lot of old, old admin accounts with no activity? It seems silly that it took so very long for this to happen. I do love how those like Abd fought tooth and nail for it to happen at Wikiversity. I'm rather glad that they finally fixed the problem on Wikipedia.

Why do we need to remove inactive admins? They're not doing any harm. It's the active ones that are the problem. Or should I say, the "activist" ones.

Lots of arguments are given. Mostly bogus ones. Ottava had an agenda, proposing routine desysopping on Wikiversity, he was upset that SB_Johnny had resigned the tools in early 2010, and then requested them back and took a position that Ottava Rex didn't like. Indeed, SB_Johnny ... actually filed the CR over Ottava Rex, the very idea was sacreligious.

Hey, Ottava's back! (He's also stirred up shit on Meta, pushing the Poetlister ban -- think of the children! -- and whacking Abigor, very obviously because of Abigor's actions last year on Commons in the porn flap, (again, Think Of The Children!) which had zero to do with the RfC on meta over Abigor.

Abd, the only bogus arguments tend to come from you - you happen to be one of the most self-serving, contradictory hypocrites I've ever met. The only reason why you wanted to stir up opposition to something that I didn't propose but came from Darklama was because you wanted to try and get people who had no connection to the community and did nothing with their tools to rise up and attack an "enemy".

The simple fact is this: if you aren't active and you aren't helping out, you don't deserve to have the tool. It isn't an award or a status symbol. It is a duty, and if you are too lazy to do a duty, you shouldn't have it. It is for the actions like the above that if anyone wants to give you any position of power, I honestly think they need a lobotomy or already received one.

Please.

I followed the kerfluffle on wikiversity. Ottava, you were the primary problem in that dust up.

Your continuous belly aching about how you had arbs/stewards/crats/admins in your pocket and how everyone that you spoke to/canvassed on IRC/skype/etc was just hilarious...and sad.
