Inactive Administrators

[Verzyn]

If I would get a penny everytime someone made a thread like this, I'd have many pennies.
If you see someone breaking the rules then get evidence and make banrequests.
Simple as that. We can't be everywhere all the time.

Don't you think then there's actually something wrong if they keep popping?

That's my opinion anyway. Now I don't mean to offend anyone but every single administrator who actually replies to this thread is usually not the cause of the problem, it's the ones who do do not pull there weight. It's so blatant for everyone to see yet even now people convince themselves it's due to other reasons. We get the whole "free time/voluntary work" argument, but as a previous staff member I feel this is just a pillow to hide behind, and not in fact the whole truth.

I'm going to use myself as a quick example (not saying I'm perfect by any means). I started as a moderator and was very active, I loved the role and wanted to spend nearly all my free time on it. I was then promoted to admin and I loved the job even more as I got more access and things became more enjoyable. I then started to ease off as I wasn't finding it as fun and didn't feel any real pressure to do my job. When I realized the error of my ways I resigned. Don't get me wrong I'm not calling for administrators to resign and I definitely respect each and every one of them for their contribution to the community but people need to evaluate if they are capable of spending a good amount of hours either on the server of managing the forums. Ultimately however, it's up to the management to decide if that person is capable to doing the task. It's not OK for people to sit in their role inactive for weeks or even months without valid reason while others pull their weight. 

Sorry for the rant and I don't want to sound like a pretension d*ck but something needed to be said because I think most of the regular users are sick of the "post a ban request" excuse. We all know ban requests take time and effort to make and there's definitely no shortage of them.
