Every once in a while, we get a member who joins the forum and for whatever reason, they decide to give bad or dangerous advice, get a snarky attidude or very lippy with other members or admin/mods or just cause a major ruckus on the forum. If they continue with the same behaviors after they are demoted or get worse, then they get banned either temporarily or permanently.
There are two types of Demotions: Cavy Person and Cavy Caged. See this
thread and
this one for more information.
Cavy Persons and Cavy Caged members may no longer post in the Kitchen or Vegetarian forums. Cavy Caged members are also moderated, meaning that we admin/mods must go read all their posts and either approve or deny them (creating more work for us). If a member ends up in this usergroup they must prove over time to us admin/mods that they can turn themselves around by stopping their useless posts. They may eventually be promoted back to Cavy Cager or Cavy Slave.
This thread is for the admin/mods to list those members who have been demoted with a brief explanation as to why.
