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 warning, they must be demoted.

The obligatory positivity test. Are you sure Hag's?--Suicidal Angel, Help needed? 17:38, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

You sure Hag? If you confirm that you want to be demoted you have my ok and I'll leave it for the Box-man to get your keys and stuff. -- Cheese 19:46, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

I am sure about it. During my vacation i took some time to think about what i have done right and wrong last year, and one of the wrong that occured to me was to come back to udwiki and ask to be promoted again. I'll just finish some projects i am working with (and which does not required sysop powers) and then leave this place. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[talk] [mod]} 20:22, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
