Can promotions 'demote' users too?

March 19, 2010 - 10:19 pm
  • Never quite got the hang of this, but when using promotions, eg X amount of posts and X amount of rep to promote people to new user groups.... _IF_ one of the criteria drops, eg, their rep point goes below the threshold, are they demoted/removed from the usergroup they were added to?

    I guess this is how it should work, but just double checking.


  • Thanks for replying Sockwater... but that doesn't 'downgrade' as such as they still have the other group.

    Doesn't matter now tho!


  • You can only do downgrades via reputation atm.


  • Thanks both.

    I think that should just about work for what I want.

    Shame promotions are not built with this two-way functionality in mind tho, ie, if someone meets the criteria they're in, but if they drop below the criteria they're out...


  • A promotion just does one thing - it promotes according to the criteria, like more than x reputation points. If you wish to demote someone, then you need to write a new promotion that 'demotes' you from that one usergroup, like for less than x reputation points.


  • This will move registered users to a "users with low rep" group when their reputation falls below 5.
