Do not demote people from jobs for breaking server rules, it is intended for RP demotes only (unless there are no staff online). Ex: Demoting a cop for not arresting someone without a firearm license
->
If someone failed to perform their job functions correctly (Ex: A cop let their friend have a gun without a license) you can /demote them. If they broke a rule against you (Ex: RDM) you could demote them but we highly suggest calling a sit. Contact someone before calling a /demote on them for breaking a rule against you. If you are unsure, ask for staff assistance.
Additional Info:
This would give players the choice between RPing their failed interaction out or escalating it to a staff issue. Encouraging players to work their own problems out may help resolve both confusion about what exactly constitutes "RP" in our rule (since you can say a cop RDMing is police brutality and that's a valid demote) and assists our staff with the possibility of less sits being called. The difference between a situation involving 2 users and a situation where staff get involved is the users choosing to escalate it or not.
