I don't see the point in re-evaluating all sysops and patrollers, nobody here will be demoted from any of those positions. I'm fairly sure that the point of these re-evaluations was to replace inactive users with people who are more suited to the job.

Example: It's like applying to be a computer IT technician in a work place, but only bothering to show up once every 2-3 weeks. The boss will likely tell you to make an effort or to leave the company.

This is no different: if you are inactive repeatedly without reason, you are not fit for the role as it means you don't have dedication. The contributions you make should have no bearing whatsoever on whether you should continue to be a patroller or sysop: if I invented a really awesome feature for Wikia, I would get the job, but if I didn't bother to keep the feature updated, then I would likely be fired for not keeping the feature bug free.

This is how things have worked on just about every other site on the internet, heck this is how it works in real life: TES is no different and should not try to change the status quo like it's doing in this thread. :/

/rant done.
