Well, for starters, what is an "op"? Herostratus (talk) 17:53, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, on some of the other wikis I'm on, "op" is short for operator, and operators are another word for administrators and bureaucrats, and other high-ranking positions. Bacon-Cheddar Man 5000 (talk) 00:07, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oh OK. Well, what is the specific problem that you're trying to fix here? Herostratus (talk) 03:18, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, in the rare case of op abuse, the admins responsible get demoted down to a standard user. I don't think that would be fair, because many users work hard to earn operator status, and then they have to work hard again. With THIS policy, they only get demoted by one position, meaning only some of their power gets taken away. Then they will still get fair punishment without having to work hard all over again, and still get the message to not abuse their op. Bacon-Cheddar Man 5000 (talk) 14:10, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
