I like this idea but would make one important change. I'd make it a rolling count so that signatures older than 2 or 3 weeks (or a month or whatever) would drop off. That would make sure the process was tracking admins for current or recent issues. Otherwise a signature that's a year old would count for as much as one that's a day old. The point is that we'd want to react to recent events and not just keep a list of everyone an admins been in conflict with in the indefinite past. With that change I think this makes the most sense out of all the recall proposals...it's light weight, it runs itself and has a clear path. RxS ( talk) 16:14, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
As currently written this proposal fails pretty much all my tests for a fair and workable system for desysopping.
I would be somewhat mollified if !votes expired if the !voter was blocked or had not edited for a month, and were struck if they did not give a reason why they supported the desysop. Or if a bot emailed signers each month in which another signature was added and gave them a link to click to confirm they still supported the measure. But overall this fails all my tests of a workable desysopping procedure, and in my view would be an unworkable drama generating trollfeeding exercise. Ϣere SpielChequers 12:29, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
