I have seen something in patroller vote page that I think should be addressed. On the 'Maintaining the rollback tool' section it states that you must have edited in the past 30 days, other wise you are considered inactive and automatically lose your rights.

That is how things should be like, but what I've seen is that even though some patrollers haven't edited in the mainspace since July people still vote neutral because they were good patrollers when they were active.

First of all I think that for a patroller to keep his rights he need to edit on then mainspace at least once a month, not on consensus boards like Flugsmith and Balagog have done. Since a patroller's duty is to watch over the mainspace, not the forums.

Secondly, I have seen this type of thing before. Where people brush off a policy, the editing once a month thing, because of what that person did in the past or because they were their friend. Both those things are irrelevant. If a patroller, or any moderator for that matter, is unable to or does not do their duty they shouldn't have the rights period.

This kind of thing is why we are having this reevaluation in the first place, right?
