The Bureaucrats' noticeboard is a place where items related to the Bureaucrats can be discussed and coordinated. Any user is welcome to leave a message or join the discussion here. Please start a new section for each topic.

This is not a forum for grievances. It is a specific noticeboard addressing Bureaucrat-related issues. If you want to know more about an action by a particular bureaucrat, you should first raise the matter with them on their talk page. Please stay on topic, remain civil, and remember to assume good faith. Take extraneous comments or threads to relevant talk pages.

If you are here to report that an RFA or an RFB is "overdue" or "expired", please wait at least 12 hours from the scheduled end time before making a post here about it. There are a fair number of active bureaucrats; and an eye is being kept on the time remaining on these discussions. Thank you for your patience.

Hi folks,

I've been away so long that I find myself having to do a bit of reading before even contemplating using the tools for anything other than a trivial manner. I'd rather not have them available. I don't know if there's a way to formally enforce this, but I would prefer to seek the tools through an RFA in the future rather than request them here again. I don't expect that to happen anytime soon, but hopefully someone else will remember I said this even if I forget after a few years. ;) Protonk (talk) 14:44, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Done @Protonk: while I doubt we would actively refuse your return if you used the BN option in the future, I don't see any reason the community would actually refuse an RfA request in the future, especially if you included such an explanation in the opening of it. Best regards and thank you for your prior service. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:51, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Protonk, Xaosflux has put a permalink to this desysop request on your user rights log page, so that may serve as a reminder of your request for the 'Crats not to restore the tools. If you do change your mind and request the tools back, you could just have them back, but if I understand you correctly, that is something you'd prefer not to happen. The problem for us is which Protonk we should be responding to: the Protonk at the time of the resysop request, or the Protonk at the time of the desysop request. The most we could do is remind you of this conversation, and leave the decision up to you. SilkTork (talk) 15:51, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We need more of this kind of self-aware ethic. Welcome back, I look forward to that RFA.

+1. A request like this disposes me favorably to supporting your future RfA. —valereee (talk) 15:37, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for this. I think the reminder will serve well enough. I need not be lashed to the mast. Protonk (talk) 23:33, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As a long term critic of policy-enabled Admins returning after years with no more than a handful of edits to their name, this approach is most refreshing and welcome. There'll be no lashing from me ;) Leaky caldron (talk) 16:25, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise. Better to resign the tools if you feel you can't responsibly use them than soldier on ahead and muck things up. I should know. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^{Jéské Couriano} 20:53, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
