I'm not sure if there is a stance on this, but I personally get annoyed whenever I see a staff member creating a vote on demoting themselves. You think you should be demoted? Find a bureaucrat and ask them to demote you. Done.

So why are people creating these threads? The obvious, and probably correct answer, is pity. I am not calling out or offending anyone, but asking for pity oppose votes just to get back (or even boost) your self-eestem is pitiful by itself and shows that you're indecisive. In some different cases, it's used as a decoy because the user knows they won't get demoted. Reasons are obvious.

Do you think we should have a rule that says you can't create a vote on demoting yourself?
