Nominations for the Removal of User Rights
Since nominations for the removal of users may require extensive evidence and include several different points, they are often too large to be put on this page. Instead, nominations for the removal of a user's rights are to be made in either a blog of forum. Similar to the process of nominating users for rights, the decision will be based upon a majority vote by registered users.

If administrators and bureaucrats feel that a user is actively causing harm with their rights (such as a moderator banning several users for no reason, or a rollback reverting several users' edits for no reason), they may temporarily remove the user's rights until a vote on the nomination is decided, upon which time the rights will either be permanently removed, or given back if the nomination does not pass.

Since bureaucrat rights can only be removed by Wikia staff or the user themself, nominations for the removal of user rights of a bureaucrat will be forwarded to Wikia staff.

SpiritedDreaming
Nominator: Phantomlink959

Reason for Nomination: SpiritedDreaming has, in my observation, consistently proven to be a helpful, kind, and reasonable contributor on the forums, particularly in the off-topic boards. My reason for nominating this user is best shown by her handling of the discussion starting here, during which I will admit I was not on best behavior. throughout it, she attempted to maintain a calm head and help user Bajarias.Josef when others were harassing him, and in fact threatened to attempt to get him temporarily banned. Her handling of this situation seems, in my eyes, like it would serve as an asset to improve the community as a whole, as she routinely interacts with hotheaded or agresive individuals without losing her temper.

Support

 * 1) Support: SpiritedDreaming is level-headed and has a mature approach to situations. She would make an excellent forum moderator. - Gastropod (talk)
 * 2) Support: At the end of the day, the forum moderator position has been neglected and needs to get going. Someone who can properly act in volatile situations is the sort of person we need to start up with this new position and help work though experimentation with it.  http://images.wikia.com/central/images/8/87/Sgt_D_Grif.gif   05:46, September 27, 2015 (UTC)
 * 3) Support: Looking at the example here, I'm pleasantly surprised. Her kind, calm, and patient approach is remarkable, and I believe she'll make a great forum mod with her skills and attitude. --
