Demotion is simply an admin getting knocked down to standard user rights. Meaning they can't ban, change redecorate the website theme, things like that.

As an admin, I have the right to ban others and moderate the forums (I also unofficially decorate MonoBook skin for special occasions). But I was promoted all the way back in '09 when we had the old, wiki based forums. I know some modern admins disagree with my methods here and there and honestly I don't think I'm that much useful as an admin anymore, which makes me think perhaps it be gracious of me to step down.

But I do love decorating MonoBook for special occasions and fear if I don't do it, who will?
