Template:Moderationnav

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

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 warning, they must be demoted.

Requests for demotion still needing to be processed

I'm sick of all the trolling, petty acts of vandalism and general flaming that makes up my days on the wiki. As such I'd like to request a demotion. It's making me cry.

On a more serious note. 9 Hours ago I got a phone call from a course coordinator confirming I'd got a place on the final year of a degree and wondering where I was. Which was interesting, as induction closed last week and no one had bothered telling me.

I'd like to thank you all for your time and patience, and encourage you to join St. Ferreol's Hospital Noise Abatement Society. At least I managed to sort out the Borehamwood namespace in my time.

I may come back in a couple of days for a ban on the account as well, but not yet. So just demotion. Please?

Positive?--Suicidal Angel - Help needed? 22:15, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Don't know if I can post here (sorry if I can't), but I wanted to ask you, why the ban too? You're never going to come back to the Wiki? :| --Janus talk 22:51, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Yes, I'm sure. I never said a permaban. People can request banning of accounts for a year, and have so in the past. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 23:08, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Wells, I can't change user rights /bureaucrat powers, but if you want a ban in a few days, I can do that. Although you know, you could just not log in for a while, then come back without having to deal with the paperwork involved with removing a ban.--Suicidal Angel - Help needed? 23:35, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
