UDWiki:Administration/Demotions
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.
Requests for demotion still needing to be processed
Axe Hack
(talk | contribs | logs1 | user rights)
I'm requesting a demotion as I'm still having some problems with my computer's WiFi connection. It doesn't seem it will be getting better anytime soon (as you can probably tell by my inactivity), and I'm just here hoping this request will save without me getting disconnected (again). That said, I hope to see ya'll soon when my damn WiFI connection gets a bit better. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 21:00, 26 May 2011 (BST)
- Sorry to hear that Axe Hack :(. Is it really that bad, though? It's been two months, I can hardly imagine someone going through without any internet access for so long these days. -- Thadeous Oakley Talk 21:12, 26 May 2011 (BST)
- I've been living through my BlackBerry and PSP these past 2 months, and sadly, the BlackBerry and PSP can't edit this wiki (or any others, for that matter) properly... :( --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 21:15, 26 May 2011 (BST)
- Sad to hear, but understandable given your current troubles. At least Project Funny is in good hands (mine) while you are away. And now work on your WiFi so that I can give it back -- Spiderzed█ 21:23, 26 May 2011 (BST)
- I miss the bad Mudkip jokes myself :P. If you really insist on getting demoted though, remember to check back in tomorrow, you'll have to confirm the "are you sure?" question per standard procedure. -- Thadeous Oakley Talk 21:28, 26 May 2011 (BST)

Not a problem, mate. Hope to see you back around the tracks later on.
