While browsing through recent feedbacks, I noticed that the loss of approval privileges results in an automated negative feedback. (See this, this, and this.) My main question is "Why is it a negative? Why not a neutral?" While understandable for the feedbacks that are over 5 years old as of now, (from what I can tell, neutrals didn't exist until ~5 years ago) why are even the ones from about a week ago listed as negatives? No other automated demotion feedback does that. Not demoted from moderator, not demoted from contributor, and not demoted from builder (only example I could find). Only the loss of approval privileges creates a negative feedback. Also, it is worth noting that the people who were demoted from janitor to platinum received that as a neutral (though I don't see why they weren't demoted to builder, since the builder level did exist at the time and it would make more sense for them to be demoted to builder).
I'm bringing this up for a few different reasons.
1. Consistency: Explained above.
2. Doesn't make much sense: It appears that most of these users lost approval privileges due to inactivity, not due to large amounts of bad approvals. Those who did lose them due to a large amount of bad approvals received prior negative feedback(s), so it's not really necessary to pour salt in the wound and have the demotion feedback be negative as well.
3. Misleading: It's a bit misleading to see a decent such as user #313336 have two negative feedbacks, only to find out that they're both just for losing approval privileges.
Thoughts?
