[edit] Bluemoose/Martin apparently left

As far as I can see Bluemoose (talk contribs), aka Martin, has left Wikipedia since 1 December 2006:

I am changing my password to something I can't remember, so this will definitely be my last edit. [1]

I don't know about procedures re. his adminship, not even whether a stale user account should be robbed from admin privileges? There are some ramifications: Bluebot (talk contribs) is a bot operated by Bluemoose, but apparently stopped operating 9 November 2006 (see contribs of the bot). Bluebot and Bluemoose are both accounts registered at Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage (listing on that page means the account is "AWB-enabled"). So I thought, I leave a note here: bureaucrats are wise enough to know what to do next (if anything). Maybe I should leave a similar note at Wikipedia talk:Bot policy. --Francis Schonken 12:01, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. It's not policy to remove admin rights from inactive accounts because enough people don't feel it's a problem I guess. I don't happen to agree, but such as it is. So all I did was remove bot status. If he wants it back he won't have any problem asking I'm sure. The AWB checkpage is up to them if they want to do anything. Maybe it would be worth looking through all those with bot flags to look for indefinitely inactive users. Perhaps a bot could do that? :) - Taxman Talk 16:22, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
