Don't take the title too literally! Not all staff will be demoted!

However, a certain three I feel should be demoted. Now they are purely for inactivity reasons, I have nothing against any of the users I am about to mention. Another reason is I would like to promote some people this summer and it's a bit difficult when we've got three inactive staff filling their spaces and not allowing them their chance. Everybody deserves their time in the sun.

Let's cut to the chase. Now, I feel I-STANdGround, a rollback, should be demoted. While he has been a here a long time and has been a very helpful editor, his activity on both the wiki and chat has been very idle; while he does still edit sometimes (he edited a little in May) he has rarely used his rollbacking ability, even after being promoted with it. I have also not seen him on the chat since about January. Now don't get me wrong, he is a great user and has been a great addition to the wiki, but his lack of activity and use of his ability asks, in my opinion, a demotion.

Next, I would like SaberSworn, both an admin and bureaucrat, to be demoted as well for both. While has has been a fantastic editor and wonderful at his job, as of late his activity has declined rapidly; he has not edited since March and was last on chat in May, I believe, and did not say a word. As great of a user as he is, his minuscule activity should not go unnoticed. Also, in an old forum back in January, he had told me he would probably demote himself, and so I feel I should honor his wishes by doing so here.

Lastly, I feel TheGunther, also both an admin and bureaucrat, should be demoted, and for both as well. Now he has been a great help and has been a great friend for most, and edited decently, but he has not edited or been on chat since February and bid us farewell in that month. I do also believe a user (not sure who) claimed he had confirmed somewhere he had retired for good, so I feel it would make sense to remove his rights if he is now truly retired. Now this was a while ago, so please correct me if this claim is false. Either way, I believe it is time to remove his rights.

Once again, I want to confirm I have nothing against any of these users, this is purely for maintenance, inactivity and promoting purposes, and of the chance any of the users above view this, I want to make it clear my purpose wasn't to offend them or anything to that degree. If that's the case, we can talk about it in private.

Also remember if you agree with one demotion but do not with another, make sure who you're speaking about so we know what and who you're talking about. If you agree/disagree with all, then you do not need to be specific on who you mean, although that would help either way.

Now, all users may vote, and remember, no matter what rights you have, we are all the same in this case, and therefore all of your opinions matter here! :D If most of the staff agrees with this, then the topic shall be closed; if not, then the topic shall continue until we can reach a consensus.

When the topic is closed, I shall contact Wikia staff (as, even as a bureaucrat, I do not have the ability to demote fellow bureaucrats) about this topic and they'll do their "magic", whatever the consensus is. :P

Well, that's all I have to say. Remember to be honest and read everything above!
