SmashWiki:Requests for demotion
This is the page for administrators to request the demotion of other administrators and bureaucrats from power on SmashWiki.
The process[edit]
Inevitably, as contributors to the wiki, we (regardless of an administrator position) will have disagreements. Simple disagreements are not what this process is for, so to avoid unwarranted discussions about a staff member's removal, only other staff members are permitted to submit a formal request for demotion.
Any user may lodge a complaint about any staff member with other staff members. They may do so by making a section on the noticeboard, emailing a staff member, or using the Discord server. That complaint will then be discussed privately among the wiki staff. If the complaint is found to be valid, a formal request for demotion will be launched, open to free discussion for all users. If not, the user who lodged the complaint will be notified of the decision.
Upon launching a request for demotion, the subject will be immediately demoted until the process is resolved, and the resulting discussion will decide if they should retain their position.
What makes a valid complaint?[edit]
- Excessive abuses of power including questionable administrative actions, a lack of willingness to follow consensus, attempting to control content, and so on.
- Breaking policies including personal attacks, excessive edit warring, abusing rollback, vandalism, and so on.
- Poor off-wiki conduct including slandering the wiki or its users.
- Discrimination of any form including race, religion, gender, sexuality, etc.
