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 or 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.

Chat Moderator
PisceanWaterbender

Nominator: Captain Barracuda

Reason for Nomination:

I nominate Piscean for the role of chat moderator. Throughout his time in the chat, Piscean has demonstrated his maturity and ability to remain cool headed. The chat is in need of more people like him and I feel that nominating him would benefit to the chat's atmosphere and population. Addtionally, he has experience with community staffing from his time on the Fanon wiki, giving him an experienced look upon the situation. Furthermore, he has shown more than once his ability to give criticism without being rude or mean.

For all these reasons, I would like to see Piscean become a chat moderator for this community.

Support
1: Support: Piscean is a mature individual with whom I've had positive interactions with, and the Discord is in dire need of additional moderators. http://images.wikia.com/central/images/8/87/Sgt_D_Grif.gif  03:12, July 31, 2018 (UTC)
