how do you get it so all guild leaders are demoted except for the creator of the guild if you are having issues with the people needing demotion. not to be kicked from the guild either, just so only the original owner is the only owner again, as a safty net nothing can happen to the guild. is anet able to demote everyone except for the original creator?
edite: is there a way to report the issue to anet if it becomes a real problem that needs delt with?

The guild leader can do this on his/her account. However, if he the leader set others up to also be leaders, I am not sure that you can do a lateral demotion. I will ask the team or perhaps another player can advise on this.

By the way, Support does not get involved in “guild politics” and would be unable to assist with this directly.

if you made someone else a leader you cant demote him, this has been reported multiple times but never been fixed.

Some guilds are having problems with that, by accidently promoting someone to leader since there is not even a confirmation popup ? and usually its by accident and the promoted member doesnt want to demote himself so that person is ruining the whole guild

A confirmation popup when promoting someone to the highest guild rank would be the best way to avoid the accidental leader promotions. In the confirmation box it could warn you that you will not be able to demote the person.

^PLEASE.
We really, really need this.
When promoting people, the ranks appear to come up in a random order almost, and simply a misclick and my guild now has a new leader that might lead to its undoing. This is horrifying to me, and I really hope that Guild security updates, in this line of thought, become a feature. It would also be nice if we had more options for permissions, such as being able to give someone the ability to rank up/down and/or the power to invite new members, and/or the power to kick existing members. I feel like this current system is just too vulnerable, and guilds could collapse from one mistake.
