Original: 

In order to ensure that most, if not all, staff members on The POTC Fanon Wiki are active participants in the community, The POTC Fanon Wiki needs to adopt an Inactive Staff Policy. The policy came from the Sims Wiki. Any inactive staff member breaking this policy will be punished accordingly to their actions. The policy is as follows:
 * A staff member is inactive when they do not make a non-minor (examples of minor edits: fixing spelling, participating in discussions unrelated to Pirates Online or The POTCO Players Wiki, editing their userpage) or staff-related (staff-related tasks, not necessarily tasks only staff members can do) contribution within one (1) month.
 * Staff members will be given a reminder after one month of inactivity, before their rights are to be revoked. (Current inactive admins will also receive a warning if the policy goes into effect.)
 * Staff members will be given a reminder after one month of inactivity, then another a week after their first reminder, before their rights are to be revoked.

The ISP currently is flawed, a staff member may simply forget about this place, then receive an e-mail telling them of the ISP notice. They may then edit once and be fine for another month. While this change still allows them to edit once a month and still retain their position, I feel that one month is a fine amount of time. If a demotion for inactivity is really wanted by the community, and the staff member has not violated the ISP,  it shall be done via a vote. Basically what I'm getting at here is that if a staff member hasn't edited within a month, they should be demoted, without giving them warnings. What if they had forgotten about this place, and the e-mail reminds them of their position, then they simply give an edit to retain their power here. We can't be treating the staff like small children, "Turn in your homework," "Turn it in please." If they haven't edited within a month they simply do not have the dedication to retain their position.
