We have a large number of admins but nothing seems to be getting done in a timely manner.

Admins have been pushing things back quite a bit and it's becoming an annoyance. You see, forums have a certain length of time they're allowed to run for, and when this period of time is up, the voting period is over and the forum should be closed. However, these forums are not being closed and they are not being updated if passed onto pages only admins can update (such as our head page, rules page and staff page). I'm not saying it needs to be immediate, but I'm saying waiting for months at a time for something to be updated and therefore accepted shouldn't happen when an admins job is to do this in a timely manner. Not only that, but some of these things (forums, outdated pages, exc.) are brought to the admins attention only to get a "I'll do it later" type response. I don't think that's right. We have a large number of forums that should be closed and/or passed and a large number of updates needed to a large number of pages. Here are examples:

-There are currently 4 chat moderators. A 5th user ran and passed for mosderator, only to be demoted because there were no openings (though the next time there is one he will receive his rights w/o having to rerun. This is a different matter though). The page listing our moderators still only lists 3, possibly confusing other users to make the same mistake as the previous user. (Roughly 2 week old information).

-The qualifications to become a chat mod actually changed to 200 edits over a months ago (probably more than 2+). It still hasn't been changed.

-There are a large number of forums that have yet to be closed even though admins have accepted the verdict (even when these forums get closed, the new updates most likely won't get posted for another long period of time).

Long story short, I'm tired of things only admins can do not getting done and, even when this is pointed out to admins getting a "I'll do it later" response only to never see it done. What I'm proposing is a new rule (to be added to the already passed, not updated) list of rules that states something around the lines of:

Admins must close forums in a timely manner and update pages only they can update in a similar manner.

''>There could be consequences on not doing so, even when it's pointed out that it needs to be done. (Or something along those lines such as temporary suspension of their rights?). ''

Italicized parts not determined. They will be voted upon in a later forum.
