This page is for system operators to request a demotion of status, or for enaction of demotion due to long-term inactivity. The act of demotion is restricted to those with bureaucrat status, and as such system operators will need to request their demotion here.
[edit] Guidelines for Demotion Requests
[edit] Request
System operators who wish to request demotion must consider these things before applying.
- Reason for demotion - As demotions cannot be reversed unless the user goes through promotions page again, the user is asked to make sure that they are making the correct decision when applying for demotion.
After a system operator has submitted his or her demotion request, the active Bureaucrats will review it, and after reaching a unanimous decision, choose to either demote the system operator deny his or her request. After action has been taken, the request will be moved to the archive.
[edit] Inactivity
main article: Policy Text
- A sysop that hasn't made any edit in four months will be warned, on their talk page, by a Bureaucrat, that they face demotion of their sysop powers in one week, if they remain inactive.
- One week after the warning has been placed, dependant on the actions of the sysop, the Bureaucrat will decide whether or not to carry out the demotion.
- This is to avoid, for example, the unlikely case of a sysop simply making a single edit with the aim of avoiding the demotion.
- The Bureaucrat is trusted and bound to make a fair decision, and not to demote a sysop who clearly demonstrates a return to activity on the wiki.
- Any demonstrable abuse of this power by a Bureaucrat, however unlikely, could (as with any other abuse of specific powers) be grounds for a Misconduct case.
- If the sysop makes no response at all to the warning, they must be demoted.

[edit] hagnat
I am done with this place. Our userbase no longer support common sense, but like to have their hands tied to red tape. Long term users which should be helping newbies are harrasing them for shits and giggles. The administration staff which should be helping to bring peace and order to the community is shatered between bureaucrats (not the wiki position), weaklings, rebels without a case, and users which only use their position on their own benefit. It was fun being part of this community, but the fun is over and the only thing that is left is a constant annoyance that takes a lot of time to resolve. --People's Commissar Hagnat talk 14:55, 10 June 2008 (BST)

- Aw, come on Haggy, I was looking forward to a Misconduct case that finally broke the camel's back and saw the other sysops vote you out. After all we've been through together (*cough*), would you really deny me such a simple pleasure? --brb, church DORIS CGR U! 23:07, 11 June 2008 (BST)
- Farewell Hagnat, and best wishes for the outside world. Thanks for all the improvements you made around here. --Toejam 00:45, 12 June 2008 (BST)
- End of an era, personal I hope something drags you back because you are good for the wiki, but I will honor your request but I will wait for boxy to add his input- Vantar 02:32, 12 June 2008 (BST)
- One last chance to change your mind, Hagnat? -- boxy talk • i 03:41 12 June 2008 (BST)
- Don't let him leave! Tie him up, now! :( DanceDanceRevolution 11:11, 12 June 2008 (BST)
- I've made my mind. The wiki has been taking too much time, in an unhealthy and unhappy way, and a time i can't afford to spend anymore. It was fun most of the time, and i'll prolly miss this place and some of its users in the future, but it finally reached the tipping point where staying here is more of a pain than a pleasure. You can still contact me in my talk page, i'll try to reply if and when i have time for it. As a last contribution, i have created a template. --People's Commissar Hagnat talk 14:43, 12 June 2008 (BST)

Demotion completed. Sorry to see you go, Hagnat, and thanks for all the effort you've put into the place over the years. You've definitely made it a much more stylish place. I hope you consider continuing to contribute, to the quieter areas of the wiki once in a while -- boxy talk • i 05:13 14 June 2008 (BST)
- Thank you boxy. I am glad i am freed from this burden, and now i can return to a regular life sans udwiki and its drama. I guess i'll leave with one last contribution. --People's Commissar Hagnat talk 21:07, 14 June 2008 (BST)
