Demotions

Astralhan (Autoconfirmed users)

Astralhan (talk • contributions • edit count)

I think she needs to be demoted because she has not been active for 6 months and is not working on her position. Kalina ^{Message me!} 19:47, April 17 2021 (CET)

Support: As someone who has make a request on demotions, I agree. Ellis99 ^{CODE XANA} 17:58, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Support: But only with regards to Discuss Moderator rights, because frankly removing autoconfirmed rights isn't a good idea, imo. Qwertyxp2000 II (talk | contribs) 00:18, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Support: ^^Agreed, but they mean demote them down to autoconfirmed users. | ~The legendary cube: TimeCube ^{Message Me!} 15:15, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

I may not be a very active user here, but I believe that if a user hasn't been on in more than six months, they should be demoted. If they come back and become active again, I think they should be promoted back to their old position. Ellis99 ^{CODE XANA} 17:56, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Comment: Just to clarify, are the positions above just listing the ones they are currently in? Or what they should be demoted to? If it's just listing the ones the users are currently in, I'm pretty sure it should say (Autoconfirmed users) | ~The legendary cube: TimeCube ^{Message Me!} 18:46, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Comment: These are the positions they currently are. If we used "Autoconfirmed users" instead of their title rights, then feel free to change it to that :) Ellis99 ^{CODE XANA} 20:35, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Comment: a year of inactivity is grounds for demotion here iirc - JowaPlays | Message Wall 21:38, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Comment: Jowa you are right at least that's what I think Emilysara enforced when she was an administrator. | ~The legendary cube: TimeCube ^{Message Me!} 21:49, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Comment: Who can demote bureaucrats? Maxlefkoff (talk) 16:44, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Comment: Not sure. Maybe other bureaucrats? I'm not sure. | ~The legendary cube: TimeCube ^{Message Me!} 22:07, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Comment: Rather bureaucrats. Kalina ^{Message me!} 13:14, 19 April 2021 (CET)

Comment: we'd have to get into contact with fandom to remove bureaucratic status but it honestly isn't worth the trouble - JowaPlays | Message Wall 23:12, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Comment: Ursuul would probably do it. Ellis99 ^{CODE XANA} 12:33, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Oppose Demoting Taliseth: I oppose demoting Taliseth, mainly because technically Tali did edit roughly a month ago, but if he continues to be inactive, I wouldn't be opposed to reaching out to FANDOM staff. | ~The legendary cube: TimeCube ^{Message Me!} 14:09, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Neutral About Demoting BlueeCookie: It's always tough for me when it comes to demoting administrators. Since BlueCookie hasn't said anything since July 2020, I'd wait until the next July since 1 year of inactivity is grounds for demoting a user. | ~The legendary cube: TimeCube ^{Message Me!} 14:09, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Support Demoting Benna96 and MangoBM: I haven't seen either rollback/patroller active ever since I joined the wiki in August. It would make sense if they did get their rights granted back (maybe even as content moderators) if they come back, as from what I hear they were very contributive. | ~The legendary cube: TimeCube ^{Message Me!} 14:09, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Comment: Shouldn't the rule of being inactive for more than a year be made more clearer than it is currently? Ellis99 ^{CODE XANA} 17:24, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
