Inkipedia:Demotion

User rights management is an important part of Inkipedia. Because certain abilities are given to only a few editors, we as a community must ensure that they are using their rights to the fullest. A demotion movement can be created for any reason, but the involved user must be notified via talk page one day before their demotion is further discussed.

Why would a user get demoted?

• The user is inactive for an extended period of time (six months or more without contributing)
• The user does not use their rights
• The user does not use their rights in a way helpful to the Inkipedia community
• The user uses their rights in an abusive way, causing harm to community members or Inkipedia itself
• The user is completely unresponsive (30 days or more without responding to talk page messages and emails)

Demotion requests

The involved user must be notified via talk page one day before a request can be made.

A demotion can be requested by any user with more than 1 month of Inkipedia experience and at least 100 mainspace edits. Each request must include the involved user's username, their rights, the rights under question for demotion, a reason why the request is being made, and a timestamped signature of the user requesting the demotion.

To file a new request for demotion, you may create a page at Inkipedia:Demotion/Username with this format:

__NOTOC__
{{Userlinks-short|User to be demoted}}
Detailed explanation of why you are requesting demotion for this user.
~~~~
==Remove Username's <type of rights> rights==
===Support===
#
===Oppose===
#
===Comments===
*

If a user has requested their own demotion or agreed to their own demotion, no voting is needed. The following format should be used:

__NOTOC__
{{Userlinks-short|User to be demoted}}
Explanation of why you are requesting demotion for this user. Make sure to mention that the user has agreed to the demotion.
~~~~
==Remove Username's <type of rights> rights==
