Demod as a neologism

Like the OP, I first discovered this unusual expression on Stack Exchange.

Moderators on Stack Exchange are not employees, they are volunteers who have special privileges and powers that help them moderate a community. They are identifiable by the diamond ♦ next to their username, and they have either been appointed by the company or elected by their peers. Moderators generally hold their position for life but they are free to resign at any time they please.

Under egregious circumstances, the company may decide to strip a moderator of their privileges, this has lead users to say that a mod was fired (AmEng), sacked (BrEng) or dismissed but these terms imply that the moderator was a paid employee; nothing could be further from the truth. As a result, the act of demotion or degrading a moderator is called demodding, and to be downgraded is to be demodded.

Searching online, there is an example of its early usage, dated October 10, 2004, in Urban Dictionary, under the entry of DanSTC

DanSTC, when will you learn that nobody respected you or thought your opinions mattered before and after you were demodded and banned?

From January 17, 2005

The term “mod” can also be modified with a different prefix re-, as in remodded. The citation below is dated February 2019

When the new discord was created, Nermal joined and eventually became a new mod after proving himself. He was promoted as a full mod until March 11th where he was demodded for a short period of time for homophobia. He was remodded by Kirbizia, which was one of the only times Kirbizia was in the right.
