Also, what do you mean like "I don't think naming specifics on this forum is a good idea however.", is that bad or is it might get into to trouble with the other users? If this happens, a forum or blog is started by a local community to discuss the removal (or promotion) of a local bureaucrat or admin, then after at least a week (7 days), use Special:Contact from that wiki to link the discussion along with a brief explanation of the situation.

Staff will then evaluate if they need to investigate further and determine what their response will be.

Should any of the local administration edit, delete, or otherwise tamper with the discussion and or participants (such as blocks), then make the report sooner than that week. Staff will be able to reconstruct whatever they need to make their evaluations.

Understand that Staff is not simply a "big stick" to whack local admins with. There needs to be a good reason. Usually violations of Terms of Use, but sometimes other factors too. Only Staff can make the call as to what their involvement should be in each situation.
