A shutoff would indeed result in a demotion. However, that's not the issue here. This proposal's primary purpose is to demote staff members who have left unannounced. In the case of a shutoff, the user can simply ask for their rights back.

Here's a question: what does a user in this situation have to lose when their rights can be given back at the click of a button?
