UDWiki:Administration/Demotions

Shortcut:
A/DM

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.

Guidelines for Demotion Requests

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.

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 warnings, they must be demoted.

It's pretty clear now that I lack the will to properly participate in the wiki, so demote please. Linkthewindow  Talk  06:19, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

No.-- SA 06:23, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

But I've just unprotected my pages and everything :(

I've said before that inactive sysops should be demoted, and I don't plan on being a hypocrite. Linkthewindow  Talk  06:28, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

So don't be a hypocrite and stay you meany! >:(

I'd demote you but I'm not a 'crat. So, I'll take care of everything else.

It all boils down to this one question man.

It's come down to this.

Are.

You.

Sure?-- SA 06:33, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey bob, bob, he's not a crat anymore so you can stop sucking his dick. xoxo 10:56, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey jed, jed, I literally could not care less about whether someone is a crat or not. link's a good sysop, that's it. hope this helps Cyberbob  Talk  11:32, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

So. You positive? --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 06:52, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm sure (nice try SA :P.) This doesn't mean that I won't still contribute occasionally, but for now, I would like sysop status revoked for the reasons above (and, I'm entering the first year of school next year that actually matters.) If I become active again, I'll probably run again (and no, I don't plan on becoming another Ross.)

Thanks all. Linkthewindow  Talk  12:06, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Don't let the shit we give Ross prevent you from "coming back", if you want to... but I accept this demotion request, if DDR agrees -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 12:24 24 November 2009 (BST)

Painful as it is, I agree. I've demoted you Link, but feel free to come and work hard for this wiki once more, when you become free. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 12:43, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Its all tough love, I assure you. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 21:16, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

dued i do this all the time with rpgs. find out the way i made a character is less than optimal and then have to restart, the lack of optimisation is my character weighs on my mind, i cant eat. cant sleep. i know its there, the two points in charisma that should bbe on strength. it kill me man.

You gonna cut yourself on all that edge or not? Cyberbob  Talk  02:20, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

No, I leave the cutting to Iscariot.--Thadeous Oakley 15:18, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

im not going to argue with ross rossford though.. theres simply no poitn in that.. ahem.. that youtube comment is an argument ive heard articulated before. But it is clearly made of fail, coming from simply willful ignorance and ear-covering shouting LAalala,. This show sucks and i WONT pay attention to it and find out that YES, they do EXPlain everything i dont understand becaus eim a retard. so. the admiral in charge of the FPA side of that engagement was Fleet Admrl. Lobos, and there is no question that he is incompetent and got his position because the government excercises too much control over the military (see ep. 60, "The Magician is Arrested", Fleet Admiral Alexandor Bucok). Lobos has been criticised in the past for being far too reactive and not pressing the advantage when he has it (see "MY Conquest is the Sea of Stars"), preferring to be flexible and react to the enemies plan. THis could usually serve him back when the only opponents he could expect to face were equally incompetent, and he would at least escape with few enough losses that he would be praised and promoted upon return (BEar in mind that the Alliance has not won a single important engagment against the Empire since the creation of Iserlohn Fortress. What kind of commanders would this horrible stagnation produce on both sides?)

Reinhard was pretty much the only actually talented commander that managed to ascend to a high enough position to have a significant impact on battles .so of course Lobos wasnt ready for him. He could barely take on chumps like Fleet Admiral Muckenberger.

If the matter is: how did Reinhard's fleet managed to get the drop on the Alliance despite being surrounded ,dont forget that the two sides don't have perfect surveillance on each other. thats another thing thats stressed is that fleets are essentially blind and communication is very difficult and laborious due to signal jamming technology. Reinhard's fleet was much more competently organized and they all knew their part to play in the plan -- Remember that opening scene, where Reinhard assembles all of the admirals to his flagship and communicates his plan to them in person? Did you see Lobos do ANYTHING the fxck like that. Of course not. The idiot just leaves his commanders to assess the situation and act as they see fit. No wonder they were overwhelmed by a determined effort from a unified fleet. Cyberbob  Talk  10:04, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

We'll miss you Link. Best of luck with classes, and come back soon. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 06:32, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

5 bucks says Maverick will nominate himself for SyOps within the next few weeks. --Thadeous Oakley 15:18, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

At least he'd stand a chance of being promoted if he did. Cyberbob  Talk  15:26, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Ouch ;o; --Thadeous Oakley 16:28, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

I don't have the time or the desire for the extra buttons & powers. If I ever do, I'll let you know. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 07:36, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Jeremy is in danger. The bullet has penetrated his heart, he can feel it and he knows he is in his last moments. The chance for revenge presents itself as his attacker steps on a squeaky dog toy and freaks the sh*t out of himself, dropping the gun causing it to go sliding across the floor. Jeremy stumbles for the gun but finds himself lingering at the nightstand, his eyes fixed upon a half-smoked bowl from earlier that day....
Jeremy may just be facing the most important decision of his life. Cyberbob  Talk  10:04, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

a couple days ago at snack time Thomas was looking at me from across the room whispering something to Tristan with the most evil smile on his face, tristan laughed , pointed at me and said somethng to thomas. thomas nods and tristan nods again and suddenly they were both very serious... tristan showed thomas something on the back of his cookie, tracing lines across its surface... i tried to walk over and see what it was but bam, he popped it in his mouth. crrunch crunch... these kids got it all figured out. i'm the only one on to them but theyre always 3 steps ahead.
