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.

Thankfully those faggots over in Red Rum couldn't get their shit together to try and meat-puppet me into 'crat, so I ain't gotta worry about that. I want to be a regular user again, and that way I can leave at anytime without feeling guilt. Also, this way leaves no reason for anyone to call me back when I do eventually leave.

No SA! You better give me my money! -- Adward  21:41, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

:O Nooo --^TCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 21:42, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

No, and before anyone asks, yes, I'm sure I want demoted.-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 21:44, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Noooes! If I spam your talkpage up, will you take me to arbitration and stay longer? --Thadeous Oakley 22:12, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST IS EVERYONE GOING TO MISINTERPRET THAT FUCKING PART? I AM NOT LEAVING YET, I GOT SHIT TO DO. Someday, yes, just like most users do (except box and cb, addicted freaks they be!), just not in the next few months. Hot damn. :/ -- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 22:17, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

We just like annoying you.-- Adward  22:29, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Demote the cunt ;)--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 22:23, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Indeed :D -- Adward  22:29, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Dammit, SA, I was all ready to vouch you on your next re-evaluation. You can't leave yet! Your work isn't finished!--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 22:26, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Are you sure? Linkthewindow  Talk  01:54, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

You sure, SA? Like, absolutely positively? --

 

 

 

 

02:47, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Positive, you of all people should know that.-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 08:08, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

fuck you SA >:( Cyberbob  Talk  06:16, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes, fuck me. :( -- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 08:08, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Processed then. Thanks for the help over the past year bud. --

No problem. Maybe now I can get more done without having to deal with making semi-unbiased decisions about shit! :D -- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 08:32, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, thanks for your help, and have fun now :D -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 09:08 2 January 2010 (BST)

But, but, why? Demotions are my thing! --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 11:04, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Because it was needed.-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 11:06, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

I made a drunken oopsie...

Er, whats the precedence for an op who ask to be demoted in a fit of drunken hilarity to be given back his powers, and maybe a punishment for his stupidity?? God damn it 73. >< -- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 23:06, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

It's been five months since you're last re-promotion. You could just run again on A/PM. Linkthewindow  Talk  23:39, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

That's two weeks, and I want to do the a/re instead. I haven't got one yet. :( -- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 23:41, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Wow you're retarded. No seriously, that was pretty much the single stupidest thing I've ever seen in my entire time on the wiki. Cyberbob  Talk  00:11, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

You were drunk for at least 12 hours? That much time between you first and last edit in the bit above this one. Anyways, yeah stupid, but there's no way besides blatantly ignoring rules to get you back. Go to A/PM and I think it's safe to say you'll get more than enough vouches for re-promotion.--Thadeous Oakley 00:20, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

To get it on the wiki, and not just irc, you have a good point. But in my defense, as it was the new years, I've been drunk and awake since I left for the partay the afternoon of the 31st. I slept between that edit and the one above, which is when I realzied all the stupid shit I have done. :/-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 00:28, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Vouch Meets all the basic criteria. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 23:08, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

That's why we ask if you're really sure... you'll have to live with A/PM now -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 02:54 3 January 2010 (BST)

You insisted you wouldn't need to be asked again, and we did anyway, and you still confirmed. Tough shit, A/PM's the place for you. --

Darn.-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 03:32, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

I would have said an immediate A/RE, but going to A/PM is better.-- Adward  13:37, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Adward is 1337. Anyway, This is wow. The failings of meat puppetry are sad, aren't they? -- Rahrah doesn't remember the age of blinking text. 14:27, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
