*:::{{tq|They still haven't responded so you have no idea how they feel}}. I can't speak for everyone, but if I had to read 14,768 words of drama about my inactivity, it might not make me feel very good. –[[User:Novem Linguae|<span style="color:blue">'''Novem Linguae'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Novem Linguae|talk]])</small> 21:39, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

*::::Perhaps we should have just changed the user rights of someone who did not qualify for the tools instead of starting 14,768 words of drama (qualify in this case meaning a consensus among the community that an editor should have the tools).

*:::::You mean like what was going to happen in 2 months anyway? I'm still waiting for someone to explain why this particular case was so urgent that we needed a recall petition.

*::::Reviewing the petition, I see 7 signatures and then more than 3/4 of the page filled with complaints about the petition process and criticism of me for following said process, so I would argue the "14,768 words of drama" really aren't about Night Gyr's inactivity. I would suggest that administrators and others who feel the petition process is unfair build consensus for the changes they would like to make.

*:::::One way to change the process to avoid this kind of situation would be to ban inactivity recalls (via an RFC on this page). That would change the location of all this inactivity discussion from individual recall pages, to WT:ADMIN, where folks could then RFC changing the inactivity requirements. –[[User:Novem Linguae|<span style="color:blue">'''Novem Linguae'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Novem Linguae|talk]])</small> 21:55, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
