Hello, I have been an administrator for 14 years and have been thinking about retiring for the last year or two. I am not that active as an administrator and have not kept up with Wikipedia's expanding bureaucracy. I can be more helpful as an editor than as an administrator. For the avoidance of controversy, I want this resignation to be permanent, no resysop without a new RfA. That isn't going to happen any time in the next decade because I'm busy in real life. Afterwards, who knows. Also, may I please have rollback and any other goodies you give to experienced users? |

:I believe that at this point literally every single administrator and functionary has been, forcibly, made aware of this person's ridiculous and ignorant complaint dozens of times, owing to them spending several months making it thousands of times across every conceivable attack surface and every project on which it's possible for them to edit. There are only a couple ways for this to resolve: either they realize that nobody cares and it will never result in their unblock and they give up (extremely unlikely since they've already been told this hundreds of times), they get bored and stop, or we just figure out enough rangeblocks and edit filters that they have to spend two days figuring out a loophole to post their absurd thing and get reverted and blocked within 15 seconds. <b style="font-family:monospace;color:#E35BD8">[[User:JPxG|<b style="color:#029D74">jp</b>]]×[[Special:Contribs/JPxG|<b style="color: #029D74">g</b>]][[User talk:JPxG|🗯️]]</b> 08:01, 2 August 2024 (UTC) |

:::Thanks for the note, the volunteer teams that will get most attention from WMF resources are Arbcom and the stewards. Our stewards team will block open proxies that are brought to our attention - even if they are 'only disrupting enwiki', and can work with Trust and Safety if there is an overwhelming attack. We do not aggressively block all peer-to-peer proxies, as they are often single nodes on dynamic addresses. There used to be an adminbot here that would block proxies locally, but it stopped doing so back in March (see also [[Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard#ST47ProxyBot]]). If there is still community support for such, another admin could spin up a replacement if the original operator no longer wants to do this. — [[User:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 15:03, 2 August 2024 (UTC) |

::{{tpq|I would defend the position that should you want to run an RfA in the future you should be fully allowed to.}} is there any reason why a crat would deny a former admin the chance to stand at RFA, whether they are eligible for automatic restoration or not? The only reason I can think of why a former admin (who is not blocked or banned) would not be allowed to run at RFA would be if ArbCom had explicitly prevented it (<s>I don't recall them ever having done so</s> ''which they have not done in many years'') or set a time limit (which they haven't done in the last 6 years at least) that has not yet elapsed.

::::::{{Re|Thryduulf}}I think we're on the same page here - I don't think any 'crat would shut down an RfA with something like "Use BN" - my comment was that if other community members argued that RfA was inappropriate that I would oppose such an argument. Personally, I'd prefer RfA was the default venue for regaining sysop following removal for most reasons (notably short-term declared leaves of absence excepted) - but when acting at BN I follow the policy as it stands today and don't let that personal feeling get in my way of processing reinstatements here. If Jehochman actually asks for reinstatement here, I would not process it - but also wouldn't individually "decline" it, I would request further discussion. Hope that clears up any confusion!

:I'm really sad to see this, {{u|Jehochman}}. The project is sorely lacking in administrators. The number of successful RfAs per year is down to single digits, while the number of administrators resigning or leaving for inactivity is growing fast. I hope you reconsider your request and request resysop. Even if you rarely use the tools, we would all still benefit from that occasional use. I can see obvious shades of your recent ArbCom case request coloring this resignation, and I urge you to take heart that a sizable majority of editors and arbitrators do not support desysop; you have not lost the faith of the community. With all that being said, if you prefer to hang up your mop, of course, I respect that. Best wishes.

To contact bureaucrats to alert them of an urgent issue, please post below.
For sensitive matters, you may contact an individual bureaucrat directly by e-mail.
For sensitive matters, you may contact an individual bureaucrat directly by e-mail.
You may use this tool to locate recently active bureaucrats.
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.
To request that your administrator status be removed, initiate a new section below.

Has anyone passed this boring disruption on to the WMF? Is there any point in it? Before the proxying there were IPs and of course CU on the accounts has real information--I don't know if the lawyers and sleuths at the Foundation act on those things. Drmies (talk) 21:47, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- See also Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#So_what_are_we_doing_about_that_IP. I have taken no action here other than blocking some proxies. --Yamla (talk) 21:48, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not seeing how this is a bureaucrat specific issue; is there something special that is needed from this team? — xaosflux Talk 23:26, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Xaosflux I think Drmies is asking if the issue can be raised to the WMF. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 23:28, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- The checkuser team (already mentioned) is under the auspices of arbcom, who has recurring meetings with WMF resources; the bureaucrat team has no such thing. So I'd suggest having the CU's escalate to arbcom if they need WMF support. — xaosflux Talk 23:41, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

- Maybe Drmies posted here because the vandalism has spread to this board. Graham87 (talk) 07:38, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- I believe that at this point literally every single administrator and functionary has been, forcibly, made aware of this person's ridiculous and ignorant complaint dozens of times, owing to them spending several months making it thousands of times across every conceivable attack surface and every project on which it's possible for them to edit. There are only a couple ways for this to resolve: either they realize that nobody cares and it will never result in their unblock and they give up (extremely unlikely since they've already been told this hundreds of times), they get bored and stop, or we just figure out enough rangeblocks and edit filters that they have to spend two days figuring out a loophole to post their absurd thing and get reverted and blocked within 15 seconds. jp×g🗯️ 08:01, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- User:Xaosflux, I posted here because you guys are the highest of the highest and the best of the best, and I was hoping for...well I don't know. CU is really useless anyway; the CU data for the original account are clear and "real", but all these recent ones, it's just proxies. Drmies (talk) 14:31, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note, the volunteer teams that will get most attention from WMF resources are Arbcom and the stewards. Our stewards team will block open proxies that are brought to our attention - even if they are 'only disrupting enwiki', and can work with Trust and Safety if there is an overwhelming attack. We do not aggressively block all peer-to-peer proxies, as they are often single nodes on dynamic addresses. There used to be an adminbot here that would block proxies locally, but it stopped doing so back in March (see also Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard#ST47ProxyBot). If there is still community support for such, another admin could spin up a replacement if the original operator no longer wants to do this. — xaosflux Talk 15:03, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
