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 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.

Sorry guys, I'm done. It's been a fun 5 years but these things happen. Good luck in the future, and here's hoping you donkeys sort out your drama issues. Yours sincerely, Shortround }.{ My Contributions 16:04, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

You win. I had no clue at all. Aichon 20:06, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
I demand you combine all the relevant admin archives based on this new information. --Rosslessness 20:15, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
lol this. --Thadeous Oakley Talk 20:17, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
Back at'cha. Why don't you do it? ;) Aichon 20:25, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
Because if we leave it to thad he'll get half way through, get promoted to sysop and then do fuck all? --Rosslessness 21:12, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
I was actually talking to you, though I did indent as if it were a response to him, admittedly. Aichon 21:19, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
Haha. I guess you aren't as humourless as I thought (although clearly more asian than Axe Hack). ~Vsig.png 21:01, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Are you really sure about wanting to be demoted? Your activity has slipped a bit, but if that is the sole reason, I wouldn't be too worried in your place. -- Spiderzed 18:11, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

But what about the coup you were planning ;)? Sad to see you get demoted, sure you don't want to go out with a vengeance now the cat is out of the bag? Truth be told though, I never really got the reasoning behind the alt thing, I kinda missed my old labour buddy on the wiki. Best luck with any future endeavours though! --Thadeous Oakley Talk 19:40, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

I am pleasantly surprised at how well Yon's english picked up as soon as heshe changed their name.--SA 21:56, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

I KNEW I KNEW I KNEW I KNEW I KNEW NO I DIDN'T. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 22:11, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, about the only thing I knew for a fact was that Yon still checked the wiki regularly, since I received a timely e-mail from him at one point, but I figured he was just reading it, not editing it under a different account. Aichon 23:24, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
Pffft, you guys never caught me when I was semi-perma'd. You peoples is inattentive as fuck. ;) --SA 00:53, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
