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 or 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.

Look, it's fun and all, but I'm in a 3 way at the minute. World of the living dead is kicking off an new beta server mid march, zombie pandemic's CEO has asked me to write some missions for radiated wasteland, and I'm supposed to be organising a fossil hunting holiday. Besides, there's not a lot happening here, and I do so much more work when I haven't got any buttons. Or scotch. Also, can spiderzed do it? Thanks. --Rosslessness 13:34, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Sitting in the ornate throne, you notice many buttons placed in the arm rest. The Crat of Spider-Zeds gives you a questioning look.

You may:

Step down and ride into the sunset	Turn to 400
Wave the Crat away and happily stay seated	Turn to 137
Draw your crystal club and shatter the portal (if you have one)	Turn to 28

Eat fucks you ass cock, you're going nowhere. Now sit down and be quiet. 21:19, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

TURN TO PAGE 28! OH DEAR GOD THEY'RE GETTING THROUGH. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 01:10, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm confused: is it saying I should turn to page 28 if I have a portal or if I have a club? —Aichon— 03:23, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

End of a good run, mate. Thanks for the memories. A ZOMBIE ANT 00:32, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

You're just trying to break the record for greatest number of demotion requests, aren't you? You're fooling no one! As Mis. Not Permissible ~ _{01:03, 22 February 2013 (UTC)}

I wouldn't let him, no one should let him. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 01:11, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

the wiki will be destroyed--User:Sexualharrison03:48, 22 February 2013

Wow. Really? Fine. I'll keep the buttons, as your arguments are all valid. Always the inactivity policy I guess. --Rosslessness 20:30, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

For all you people out there wondering why we don't honor A/DM requests immediately...why we always ask "are you sure?"...THIS is why. :D —Aichon— 20:39, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Someone brute-force his password so he never goes "inactive". 02:17, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm on it. Ross, what's your password? --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 02:42, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes, let us Nubis him. Nubis him hard. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 09:42, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Fuck it, I'm game. Ross, give me your password. In the words of Mis "It'll be fun."--SA 14:00, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

The throne fits your back perfectly. The two wikizens look up and stare in awe at you. With the throne below your bum you hear talking in your mind and realize that the wikizens are trying to communicate telepathically with you. They tell you that you are their new Sys-Op and they require instructions. They ask you what should be done with the red-topped spambots. You decide that you do not want to be a Sys-Op and try to raise your legs to remove yourself off the throne. With horror you see that the Spider-Crat has chained you to it. The throne is evil and has found a new host in you. Gradually your features change as you adopt the shape and colour of a Sys-Op. Your destiny is determined and your adventure ends here.
