Patroller limit

We have seven patrollers on this wiki, could be eight pending on Sasquatch101's request. Isn't it about time we put a limit on how many patrollers we have here? I personally think we need a new admin rather then a new patroller. Messi1983 (talk) 05:50, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

I wasn't just thinking the same, I was about to propose putting you me and Tom working with a couple of the better patrollers to get them ready to be an admin. I was also thinking that if anyone gets the urge to step down as a b-crat, I think Ilan's very close to ready to step up, if not ready already. Though I don't think GTAWiki should ever have more than 3 b-crats at a time. Jeff (talk|stalk) 06:23, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

We need a new admin or two because in a couple of months time, GTA V will come out and then this place will be like rush hour on the London Underground (chaos and very very busy). If we ever needed a new B'crat, then yes, Ilan would be my first choice to be promoted. Him or Winter Moon. Messi1983 (talk) 23:09, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

Some one needs to step up from the Patroller ranks. I'd go with M.K. or myself. For me, we'll have to wait until or after March because that is when I'll be active when my computer arrives.

Sorry I never commented on this matter. But with more and more requests coming in, we should definitely decide. Also I do agree with the Ilan thing, but he has established himself as something of a senior Admin already. Tom ^Talk 19:57, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

With three bureaucrats, four admins, and eight patrollers, and most of them active, I believe we do not need anymore new staff members. Only promotions that should happen is if one of our existing patrollers request adminship or if Ilan requests Bureaucratship. Messi1983 (talk) 09:48, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

Inactive bureaucrats

While checking the users list, I noticed that User:Thai420 and User:GuildKnight are still flagged as bureaucrats. Thai420 hasn't been around for years, GuildKnight hasn't edited for years (she logged in in October 2012) and she's among the crew that went over to Grand Theft Wiki although she's inactive over there. Should we not worry about it or should we hold a request for demotion? Jeff (talk|stalk) 21:26, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

Nothing to worry about if they're both been inactive for ages. Messi1983 (talk) 23:04, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

On the page

Can one of the admins put the staffs colors on the page so new users know what they mean. 

Example:

Beuracrats = Baby Blue

Admins = Blue

Patrollers = Yellow

You admins should consider it.  Boomer8 (talk) 02:38, April 3, 2013 (UTC)

I think that would be useless, the names are already colored. Take a look.Dodo8 ^Talk

Singapore flag

It won't work with the Flagicon template because it isn't a .svg.

Instead, the code is [[File:SingaporeFlag.gif|20px|link=wp:Singapore]]

Thanks Rain. Sam ^Talk 22:46, July 11, 2015 (UTC)

MarcusCheeKJ 's name is misspelled

Hey I just wanted to say something, the new Patroller, MarcusCheeKJ has his name misspelled as 'MarcusCheekKJ' in the Patroller section of the page. I can't edit this page because I'm not a staff member, so can somebody please change it? Andy Ashley (talk) 00:40, July 15, 2015 (UTC)

I meant the image for the user in the page. Andy Ashley (talk) 00:41, July 15, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out Andy, i'll report that to an admin. AndreEagle17  00:50, July 15, 2015 (UTC)

Woah, I did not notice this... Thanks Andy, Andre & 558 for correcting this. :) MC (MyComputer) 06:56, July 15, 2015 (UTC)

Oops, I just noticed that WildBrick had the same problem as me, as his avatar link is "Wildbrick142". Can an admin or b'crat change this please? MC (MyComputer) 12:34, July 16, 2015 (UTC)

That Ferrari Guy's profile pic does not link to his page when you click on it

Hey. I noticed that the profile pic for That Ferrari Guy does not link to his page like all the other profile pics for the other staff members. Can somebody change it? Or, maybe unlock this page so I can fix it? Andy A. (Talk | Contributions) 14:14, September 27, 2015 (UTC)

I'll do it now. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 14:29, September 27, 2015 (UTC)

India flag

Hey guys. I noticed that the India flag does not link to a Wikipedia page like all of the other flags. Can somebody fix it? Andy A. (Talk | Contributions) 15:45, October 3, 2015 (UTC)

Hello? Is anyone going to fix it? Andy A. (Talk | Contributions) 18:28, October 3, 2015 (UTC)

That's because it isn't a flag icon, it is just a .png image. The svg image messed up and the whole thing was corrupt. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 21:28, October 3, 2015 (UTC)

New Patroller

Sorry if it seemed chaotic, feel free to fix it. Took me a couple of minutes to add my specialties and new avatar as a result of me being a new Patroller:

JohnnyD-the-VGNerd
Finding and obtaining Handling, Model and Internal names Provide images for comparison purposes, among others Very Active Vehicle Specialist

No. You simply cannot have all these. They are too specific and lengthy. Look at other examples. Monk ^Talk 05:55, July 26, 2016 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Yeah, I figured as such. 07:21, July 26, 2016 (UTC)

Demotion and repromotion

I have to bring it to your attention that you have a flaw stated in this section and I will explain why it is a flaw.

'Administrators and bureaucrats who go inactive are demoted to Patroller by policy - no community vote required' - That's all very good with one small problem. How are you going to demote a bureaucrat to patroller for inactivity when none of you have the ability to do this? The only people who can demote a bureaucrat are the bureaucrat themselves and Wikia Staff and Wikia Staff do not demote bureaucrats for inactivity unless there is community consensus and inactivity for at least a year.
