User blog:ArtistOfTheDaleks/Ideas To Improve Wikia's Property Policy

So it has come to mind that there are users here whom have been inactive for over 3 to 5 years and a few that have been banned.

What i propose is something that another user on chat thought could work and is a middle ground in alot of ways.

My proposal is to make articles of banned users Free Use, and articles of people inactive users Free Use after 3 or 5 years.

Banned Users
Banned users articles become free use permanently because they are banned from the wikia, however that doesn't mean their contributions should go to waste. Another unfavorable alternative is deleting these pages, however it may be preferred to use the former rather than the latter.

Inactive Users
Inactive users become free use, However their right to reclaim the article when they come back is reserved for the article's creator so even if they disappear for 10 years if they come back after the article was made free use then they can reclaim the article if they wish.

This leaves room for new users whom want to use certain techniques to gain them but not only that it would be a good way to increase activity on the wikia both as a deterrent to inactivity and an encouragement to activity.

There are a couple users whom see that this could work out. It is a good middle ground and i think it'll work too.

This idea will also reward the ones whom have been active and contributing to this wikia keeping it alive as opposed to those whom have abandoned us.
