Another thing you need to consider when demoting players is skills.  This is
probably the trickiest part, because although you know what skills they
should have at a particular level, you have no way of knowing when they
practiced each skill and how much they practiced it at each level.  If you
do nothing, then as the player gains levels and regains skills lost during
the demotion, the previous percentages will still be there, so that a
character could gain a skill and be "superb" at something that should say
"not learned".

To truly roll back the clock, you'd need a way of keeping track of when and
how much the player practiced each skill.  This is not impossible, merely a
lot of work.  Whether it's worth the effort is up to you.
