*'''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.
*'''Reason for demotion''' - As demotions cannot be reversed unless the user goes through the promotion process again, the user is asked to make sure that they are making the correct decision when applying for demotion.
*'''Effects of demotion''' - Demotions may necessitate additional action, such as in the case of a Bureaucrat being demoted, which triggers an immediate by-election to fill their seat for the remainder of [[UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Re-Evaluating Re-Evaluations and Other Sysopness|their term]].


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 [[UDWiki:Administration/Demotions/Archive|archive]].

Right. I was originally planning on finishing my term to October before requesting a demotion, but doing this now won't make much of a difference, so I'll go down now. I'll spare you an extended goodbye speech, I've had a good time here the past 4 years (It's been that long!?). I'd like to thank the people who made this possible in that time, for I am grateful. Some of you have long since left the wiki, some still reside but still...Thanks guys, I wish you the best.
I'll stay around in the foreseeable future, may check in from time to time later, who knows. -- [[Image:Cat Pic.png|14px]] [[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''Thadeous Oakley''']]</span> [[User_Talk:MisterGame|<span style= "color: black; background-color: white">'''''Talk''''']]</span>  20:24, 3 September 2011 (BST)
:FWIW Thad I thought the bad rap during your term was grossly exaggerated. The fact that you pretty much took it all in stride disproved a lot of what was being said about you. I wish you had taken it a step further and proved everyone wrong by being a stronger member of the sysop team but I'm glad you at least stuck it out as long as you did. Hope you stick around after your demotion. ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>21:58, 3 September 2011 (UTC)</sub>

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M43SOlyCRQg Effective on 1st September 2011, I shall be resigning as System Operator]. It was always my plan to resign after my second term, especially given that I’ll soon be starting University. I’ve had a good time working on this wiki over the past year or so, and I’ll continue to hang around. Maybe, if my course isn’t too difficult I’ll reapply some time, but at the moment I don’t think it’s likely. Cheers [[Example Page|Donkeys]] and [[Example Page|Donkettes]], it’s been a blast!

:::One of the best things I ever did while living in the dorms was to prop my door open (especially during move-in week and the first few weeks of the semester), crank up the volume on my TV just a bit so that it could be heard easily from the hallway without being too loud, sit down in a place where people could see me easily from the hall, and then play Ocarina of Time or some other classic game that has music or sounds everyone has heard a bajillion times. I swear, every time Zelda's Lullaby played someone new would walk in and go, "Is that Ocarina or Time? Oh, and hi, I'm <name>."

Meh. You are pussing out. I went through uni in the worst moments of this wiki history. Yes, I failed a couple of classes cuz of that (and some other RL issues, mostly involving beer and girls, LOL) but currently the wiki is a nice and drama-less place to be (which is boring, actually).

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 the promotion process again, the user is asked to make sure that they are making the correct decision when applying for demotion.
  • Effects of demotion - Demotions may necessitate additional action, such as in the case of a Bureaucrat being demoted, which triggers an immediate by-election to fill their seat for the remainder of their term.

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.

Demotions in process

There are no active demotions.

Recent Actions

There are no recent actions

Older actions can be found in the Sysop Archives and the relevant category.
