Term limits for admins!

Term limits for admins!

A large number of the problems mentioned in these update discussions could be ameliorated by term limits for admins. Something like a three-year term followed by a one-year break and two-year terms followed by one-year breaks after that. 98.204.234.150 22:28, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

What do you mean? I don't seem to understand...

For a position that isn't based around terms, adding a term limit is generally unnecessary overhead, especially on smaller wikis where there might not be someone who asks for the position. If you're worried about bullying issues listed elsewhere, term limits don't protect against groups of people exploiting a system and cycling administrative privileges among themselves.

Also, there's already means to remove administrative powers if they're abused or unused.
