Guest Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 We will be implementing quarterly cleanups from here onwards. Within this topic, I would like to document the process that I have taken with this current cleanup followed by a list of permissions that we'll be looking to remove in a week, give or take. I began by pulling a list of our current moderators from a staff database that I recently created with the assistance of SirTacfoace, which contains information on individual permissions across our services so we can stay on top of them. From here, I began collecting data in regards to each individual, more than required for this cleanup so that we can establish where more help is needed more accurately. The primary piece of information that I gathered was whether each person had logged onto the servers within the past four weeks and if not, whether they had informed us of their absence (ideally through this topic). During this time, I opened up a discussion primarily for moderators, to help us define activity a little better and we concluded that it isn't something that can be put to a number of modreqs, as some people engage in other areas of moderation, assisting people and being involved in special events (such as fundraisers). With this in mind, we decided that people who have not been logged in over the past four weeks on our community and who have not informed us of any inactivity, have no metrics for us to measure activity by, thus inactive. We will be removing permissions for the following users on the subsequent services: Inactive Moderators --> Move to Past Moderators - These users have been moved to the inactive moderators section some time ago.

I'm done gathering and posting data now - It's taken a while but worth the effort for the next cleanup in three months which should be effortless compared to this.

Guest Former Staff Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) It has been a week, I have contacted 62 individuals to ensure that the message has been received and we are now proceeding to update permissions (not all will happen straight away but we'll do as many as we can). Edited August 15, 2015 by Barlimore Changing "not" to "now". Funny how that changes the meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Former Staff Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Just a few more names to update upon irc, where I'm having an experience with some of the permissions. I have requested that the final names remaining on the subreddit list are removed as only AllnaturalX is able to update those individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
