Just putting the thread up so that the community may view and be aware of what has happened due to Kuby101's recent behavior. Here is the post:

Hi Kuby, I will try to make this short and clear so that we can both continue to contribute and be a part of this wonderful community without too much trouble. =]

As of your behavior in chat today (26/06/2014), EBCM1022 and myself have decided that a demotion of user rights is appropriate due to the highly inappropriate and immature behavior which is not at all expected or to be tolerated from an administrator. You have still been allocated the rollback tool so that you can continue your edits and contributions to the Knights & Dragons Wiki and still aid the community by clearing up spam and removing vandalism, and we strongly hope you will continue to stay and contribute and regain our trust.

The full related chat log has been uploaded and can be viewed here. The concerning/related messages have been highlighted.

Reasons for Demotion
I will now go through all the related messages and give reason to why it is inappropriate and not acceptable behavior.

''7:58 Kuby101: Knight is stupid. He has HORRIBLE GRAMMAR''

I know that occasionally things alike this do happen to slip out and at times we all say things that we do not mean. This is really not acceptable from a staff member, especially an administrator who have the most useful and powerful tools on the Wikia. The Knights and Dragons Wiki Chat Policies clearly state that you should not say or "talk about anything that can harm someone emotionally", and EBCM and myself believe that calling someone stupid and criticizing their grammar when English is clearly not their first language can definitely harm them emotionally.

''8:10 Kuby101: WTH ARE YOU SAYONG KNIGHT. ITS GETTONG ANNOYING. PLEASE KEEP GOOD GRANMAR.''

From reading through this and the recent logs, I believe this could possibly have been said under sarcasm, but either way does not at all reflect the kind and inviting community that the Knights & Dragons Wiki wants to offer to users who join our Live! Chat.

''8:11 Kuby101: Finally he is gone. He is SOOO dumb''

This sort of user abuse is highly unacceptable and is in no way going to be tolerated from any user, and especially not from an admin.

8:16 Kuby101: AND OH MY GOD ONE MORE GRAMNAR MISTAKE AND I WILL KICK U GRAMMAR

8:18 Knightdestroyer has been kicked by Kuby101

Kicking users or threatening to kick them over the fact that English is not their first language is not at all acceptable or a legitimate reason for a kick.

8:26 Kuby101: WHAT DOES IT MEAN I WILL KICK ALL OF YOU

This was refering to the 'muk spelt backwards' incident that happened later on, you were informed multiple times that it is an inappropriate topic by UnumPluribus and GamingOshawott although continued to demand an explanation and threatened that if you did not receive one you would kick them from chat.

Later on I know KandD GSE Andy mentioned 'Muk Backwards = Frosty the Snowman' and you ended up banning him from chat for this, which I understand you were defending other staff as you believed it to be referring to me, but this demotion is not revolving mainly around this. This demote is more about your immaturity in chat, abuse of user rights, and user abuse to Knightdestroyer.

User Rights
I have removed your adminship and have granted you use of the rollback tool. We decided that it is also better to restrict you from applying for admin or chat moderator so that we can monitor your behavior as a rollback and in the chat if you join and prevent an issue like this arising and favor blocks occurring because of recent events. This way EBCM and myself can properly monitor and assess your behavior, and hopefully you can regain our trust. I am sure you are aware that this is your second demote from sysop, and therefore we will have to see a big change in your attitude and maturity if you are to reapply for admin or chat moderator.

I am sorry that it had to come to this, but we believe this is an appropriate reaction to your behavior today. If you have any questions or comments regarding this demotion I am happy to discuss them below to ensure you fully understand why you were demoted. You may reapply for additional user rights on the 26th August 2014, otherwise resulting in the cancellation of any user rights requests.
