I think that we might need a clearer proposal. Like Bourg suggested, we should have a brief policy that lists what things cannot be discussed on admin talk.

Anything that impacts the entire community should be banned at admin talk, especially policy discussions and user rights discussions, but also including discussions regarding the MoS, wiki features, skins, etc.

However, it seems that a few people are not comfortable with the idea of having demotions become a community decision. Interestingly, it's already within the community's authority to demote users. Votes have been held in the past. Demotions are an extremely rare incident. In the case of obvious abuse and disruption, I think admins should be allowed to demote immediately (and the demoted user, if not banned/blocked as well, can appeal to have their rights again through RFR). Otherwise, community discussions are fine. Because of how rare demotions are, drama is a nonissue.
