Contributor reports this as being very regional in its use. He doesn't think it's been heard outside the California state border.

He thought it was a San Francisco Bay Area thing, but recently heard it referred to as "Valley slang" (S. California.) He remembers it from the early 90s, but its use apparently peaked in the 80s. Probably derives from "demoted." (ed: no sooner do we add information than it's updated... which is great! For example... see below.

Well, I can add another area: I lived in Santa Monica (L.A.) in the 1970s and heard "moted" and "moted and corroded" all the time, at school. Although Santa Monica is only a handful of miles from the San Fernando Valley, it is definitely NOT the valley, culturally speaking; those really are two distinct areas, so you could add Santa Monica to your listing as a legitimate third part of California where the expression was used. (ed: so that clears *that* up... perhaps?)
