It was an idea that I wanted to transform into RfC but I thought I would create it first on a forum so let's get started. This idea is to list the AVID Mods, Admins and Bureaucrats who have retired or been fired, This list must be placed within the page where the website team is located, the image shows more or less what it should look like:

What do you think of the idea? If there are 10 yeses, I create the RfC, if there are 10 noes, I give up.

Interesting idea. I always wanted to know the staff members that got fired, so if an RfC about this might be happening, I'm all in for it.

Ehh....not the worst idea in all..but I don't really see how it would add anything to the wiki. And there's also the plausible risk of people dogpiling on the unranked ones.

A concerning idea, can't support it. As Charlie said, it would result in dogpiling towards the former staff.

Per Charlie and Dison, this gets my veto.

No no no no no. Not happening. While it would be cool (in theory) to have an all-time master list of everyone who was a moderator/admin on AVID, it would altogether be pointless. Why would we list retired users that, y'know, are retired? And why namedrop people who were fired? Very impractical.

Replying to everyone, if this happens, a warning can be placed saying not to stalk, dox, harass, etc to the former person, another reason I created it is because for the most of the persons need to know a little about the team's history and other reasons that I forgot.

This would probably easily be dodged by using [REDACTED] in place to avoid the namedropping with only the reasoning listed.

Dogpiling has been a major problem in this community for years and yeas, even before I joined, heck, even before we moved to Miraheze and even became AVID. A simple warning wouldn't stop dogpiling unfortunately. As for the last part about the team's history bit, the FTGD series and/or the Audiovisual Identity Database history page could probably suit your needs for those.

Okay, thinking this thoroughly, I realized that an RFC should not be made. It's just a list, it's not like it's going to affect the wiki. As such, I revoked my vote.

Well, as Charlie just said, I'm going to give up on the idea .
