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 warnings, they must be demoted.

Requests for demotion still needing to be processed

I've become even less active than usual, and I'm likely to be for a while now. So I think it's best if we have another 'crat to replace me, but I will stay on as sysop (at least for a while). I'm easy as to when I'm demoted, either immediately, or after a replacement is installed (whatever Ross decides is the correct protocol) -- boxy talkteh rulz 13:03 3 October 2010 (BST)

Nuuuuuuu! The never-ending Crat term cannot be thrown aside! You certain?--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 13:04, 3 October 2010 (BST)
Right, I was up for a twin re-evaluation, crat election on the 25th. If Box is demoted now, the Crat election begins now, I get plain reevaluated and (assuming I pass) the following election for my current Slot Will Be Three Months from the end of the current promotion. Seems clear. I think. Happy to be demoted after the election? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 13:07, 3 October 2010 (BST)
Surely your election will just be 3 months after this one finishes, with no re-evaluations of any kind until then. You haven't been a crat for 12 months, so there's no need for another as per crat rules. Is that right?--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 13:12, 3 October 2010 (BST)
But 8 months since my last promotion? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 13:14, 3 October 2010 (BST)
I don't think it matters if you're a crat. Doesn't it stack to 8 months after you stop being crat?--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 13:15, 3 October 2010 (BST)
Yep. I think you're right. Once Box confirms his demotion request, We'll Kick of a new Crat race and demoted box at the end of the two weeks, when we appoint a successor. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 13:16, 3 October 2010 (BST)
Set up election on A/BP. Somebody check my work.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 13:27, 3 October 2010 (BST)
What happened to the "Are you Sure?" confirmation? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 13:31, 3 October 2010 (BST)
... I forgot... But seriously, I thought he already had. I'll revert so it's just a click away.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 13:31, 3 October 2010 (BST)
^^^This is the reason I voted for ED Milliband. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 13:32, 3 October 2010 (BST)
There we go. 3 clicks if he confirms, and we leave it if he changes his mind. Also, I voted fro Ed Miliband. :P--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 13:33, 3 October 2010 (BST)
Can't we just clone Ross and be done with it? Anyhow, we'll get an interesting bureaucrat competition then. I'm already in doubt between 3 candidates. Also, so long Boxy, and thanks for your service. We didn't always get along, but you were a stable factor as a bureaucrat. Hopefully you'll come back, instead of being yet another oldie leaving us :( --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 14:56, 3 October 2010 (BST)
