Admins *can* be "unadmined"… by their community. While many are unaware, a wikia's community can start a forum thread or blog to discuss the removal of any admin, bureaucrat, and even founder. If they reach a consensus they then forward the request with links to Special:Contact from their wikia.

No one in that local administration should tamper or hinder such threads, and if they do then use Special:Contact right away to have Staff monitor the situation. Be advised that while such threads are ongoing, even though they should not be tampered with, does not mean the participants are immune to blocks for proper unrelated reasons; so trolling, harassing, vandalizing, edit wars, etc, remain blockable offenses and Staff will not overturn them. So participants should be on their best behavior.

Staff will ONLY remove Admins, 'Crats, and even Founders if they violate the Terms of USE.

Point is, admins are not safe from all recrimination.
