  I think because Faith was still in some ways an "Active" slayer they had no new one to activate. Also the watchers weren't doing so well by that time I mean Buffy had told them to sod off and was basically ignoring them and then in season 7, well anyway.
  
  Of course it could be cause they messed that up! ;-)

  Yes it has been asked before.... let's see if I remember the Joss logic. Kendra was called because Buffy died. Faith was called because Kendra died. Because Faith is still alive, no need to call a new slayer. Buffy apparently once dead was taken out of the slayer regeneration line. Thus no additional slayer after she died again.
  
  I think that's how they explained it.

    this is also how I've understood it.
    
    and yet....
    
    in season 7 it's stated over and over that if buffy dies, one of the potentials will become a slayer.
    
    In general when questioned about inconsistencies Joss Whedon says that what's important is how the details serve the plot and metaphor. In season 7 it's important that the potentials actually have potential, so the rules are revised.
