I get what Caleb is saying but I also understand Zane's frustration.

Caleb is very knowledgeable on the wiki's policies and procedures. Sure, he isn't as active, but message him about a pressing matter and he will answer. The other inactive bcrats were way before my time so I wouldn't know how they fared, and it would be unfair for me to judge them without any knowledge. I would keep it in good faith that the reason they became admins/bcrats to begin with is because they knew what they were doing or what needed to do.

However, Zane is also correct in stating that we do need new admins/bcrats as a lot of the old guard contributors have left. The wiki needs constant policing and updating. Personally speaking, there are times when I want to clear up an entire category of issues (i.e., all the speedy-deletion candidates or all orphaned pages) but sometimes, the sheer number of results the dashboard would show me and the fact that I sometimes feel I was the only admin working on it would discourage me.

I think instead of debating and focusing on debating on demoting those who have been promoted from waaay back, let's instead focus on getting new and active sysops/bcrats that would solve our problem in our current state.
