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 or deny his or her request. After action has been taken, the request will be moved to the archive.

Inactivity

Crystal Clear app xmag.png 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.

Requests for demotion still needing to be processed

User:Vapor

Welp, this seems like as good a time as any other. Here it goes. I'd like to request demotion for the following reasons:

  1. Time. I'm just not here much any more. And the time that I'm here, I'd rather be dealing with anyrhing else than sysop stuff.
  2. Interest. I started editing the wiki because I found the game for the most part pretty boring and it gave me something extra to do. That soon led to an eventual promotion and that was pretty cool. I'm now less bored with the game since I found a good group which keeps me pretty busy. I'll probably still feel the need for some wiki crack from time to time, but mostly the sysop stuff just doesn't interest me much any more.
  3. Sanity. After repeatedyly asking myself why I kept researching case precedents or othere mundane tasks and wasn't able to give myeslf a proper answer, yet continued to do it, I began to question my sanity. I'd like to stay sane. Staying sane would be good.

My only request is that I'd like to be demoted on the same day as Misanthropy, which I suspect will be any day now. Mis talked me into this gig and opened my promo bid. I think it only fitting we go at the same time. If by some chance he's kept, just do it on the day of the crat decision to keep him. Not too much to ask, I think. Thanks. ~Vsig.png 02:15, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

No, dude, it's okay, I wasn't using that thunder anyway. Grr! Argh! *shaking fist* Nothing to be done! 03:03, 5 April 2012 (BST)
What's a little thunder between friends? Seriously, though it was this or bad April fool's joke which wasn't one at all. This is better, no? ~Vsig.png 03:18, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
We'll always have Paris. And a mutual appreciation of 8-bit circles. Nothing to be done! 05:04, 5 April 2012 (BST)
Your contributions have been appreciated, and we need experienced and trusted sysops at this stage. But if you are sure you need to remove yourself, then yeah, confirm please -- boxy 13:38, 5 April 2012 (BST)
Yep, I'm sure. Its something I've been mulling over for a bit of time. I won't be doing anything with the buttons and will avoid drama sections for a good long while. I'll still post my opinion on important stuff if asked and if its needed but won't actively pursue any of it. ~Vsig.png 21:25, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Demoted. I look forward to your nomination of future successors. or DDR. --Rosslessness 10:09, 12 April 2012 (BST)

Muchos gracias. It was a pleasure and I had fun but the time had come to move on. As for future sucessors, I'll be on the lookout. If anyone needs some coaching, I don't mind weighing in. Get you some DDR and Aichon and you probably won't need anything else but don't be afraid to promote some fresh blood. Burn outs happen and if you're not careful, you might find a wiki run only by Rev. ~Vsig.png 00:30, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
You guys think way too highly of DDR, his behavior has never deserved that, he's Cyberbob with a desire to please. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 05:43, 13 April 2012 (BST)
