"Wait what, demoting inactive bureaucrats?" Mhmm. You read the title right and we’re all going to have a voting on demoting inactive bureaucrats.

Now everyone knows that inactive bureaucrats don’t get demoted in this wiki right? When they do get inactive, they lime green usernames are changed to gray with a red text shadow. Uhhh, let me just say that sort of rule/tradition is purely ‘’’flawed’’’ so allow me to list the following reasons why bureaucrats should also be demoted for inactivity:
 * The other usergroups get demoted for inactivity but the bureaucrats don’t? Sorry, but how in the way is that fair to the other usergroups? So while the users who belong into the other local usergroups (ex. rollbacks, chat moderators, discussion moderators, content moderators, administrators) get demoted for inactivity while the bureaucrats don’t get gray usernames and they get gray usernames with a red text shadow instead? Well unfortunately, that sort of fact just tips the balance, therefore making it all unfair.


 * Having special username colors for inactivity is not really the best speciality. Only bureaucrats are the only ones allowed to have special username colors for inactivity while the other users who fall into the other local usergroups don’t and they get demoted instead? That’s a pretty major flaw in there. So in order to be fair to the other usergroups, why don’t we not demote the other local staff members, both former and current, who are very very inactive as of the moment and give them other username colors that mark them for inactivity instead. Upon doing so then congrats. We will have a really really long list of all the local staff members in this wiki, therefore increasing the number to hundreds if you included those former local staff members who have been demoted for inactivity, even those former local staff members who no longer edit in this wiki.
 * Bureaucrats are referred as administrators. Bureaucrats are often referred to as administrators or in other terms, sysops, a world that is short for system operators. Since we demoted inactive administrators, how about we get to demote inactive bureaucrats too? Bureaucrats in fact are administrators but the only thing that makes them a bureaucrat is the additional tool that allows them to promote other users into every other local usergroup (which is all usergroups including administrator and bureaucrat).


 * Wikia Staff allows the demotion of bureaucrats even by reasons of inactivity. Wikia Staff still demote bureaucrats for inactivity but they will only do that if the community consensus declares and decided that they should be demoted for inactivity. If you are worried that the Wikia Staff won’t demote bureaucrats for inactivity then fun fact: they do. Keep in mind that the Wikia Staff is willing to demote bureaucrats but only by the consensus of the community, whether the community wants them to be demoted for reasons of the bureaucrats bringing too much harm on the community or for inactivity.

With those reasons listed, this will be considered as a major change to this wiki and since this is a major change, everyone who will participate in this thread should discuss among us seriously and civilly.

But there is one thing that you all must know: every inactive bureaucrat who will request to keep their rights especially in cases of retirement and if they no longer wish to contribute in this wiki further is a tradition that will be kept and will remain in this wiki. That means examples of such bureaucrats like MighnightHawk or Jackninja5DipperGravityFalls will still have their rights with them together with their gray with red shadow usernames. But any bureaucrat who suddenly becomes inactive without informing the community for his/her inactivity? Uhhhh, sorry but it’s about time for a change for the sake of equality among local staff members.
