To give the long and the short, I was an admin on the Shingeki no Kyojin Wiki. I created a discussion thread in order to remove our active bureaucrat, hfc2x, for harrasment/abuse and letting his personal feelings influence his positions, espeically regarding promotions. This was done in complete accordance with what Wikia Staff told me to do. In the middle of this 'trial' hfc2x promoted an inactive, inexperienced admin who did not qualify for the position, NeoSuperior. He also completely ignored our nomination process for selecting a bureaucrat. Neo then closed the 'trial' early and took power away from our community by deciding the outcome: a backroom deal made hfc2x step down. I was then blocked by Neo and demoted from my position, for 3 months for posting skype screenshots that were done in a response to another user manipulating evidence to make me look like a liar.

Neo was told by Semanticdrifter that posting Skype screenshots is not a terms of use violaton as he said, I was not restored in any way. Semanticdrifter himself had to unblock me and specificaly warned Neo not to interfere with community discussions about removing users. Due to being illegally promoted, blocking/demoting me, and closing down the communtiy discussion, I created another discussion about removing NeoSuperior, again following all of Wikia's rules for doing so. Neo posted once, and then went completely inactive for the duration of it. Just hours before the vote ended 3-1 for removing him, Neo closed down the discussion again, claiming he was awaiting a report from wikia staff. Semanticdrifter than posted in the discussion and jumped to the enormous conclusion that I was using puppet accounts, a patently untrue statement. I told him many times that the people he called puppets were my brother and sister. I made it clear we would follow any procedure in order to prove this and argued that family members, if they are active and contributing, are just as valid as someone iiving 3000 miles away. They have both done work and should be allowed to voice their opinions. Most of my responses over email were ignored with Semanticdrifter telling me that we need to see a larger community consensus and that not enough people voted. I told him that I can't force people to vote, and the community did decide to remove the bureaucrat. I had the claim transfered to Brandon Rhea, who upheld Semantic's decision and told me the same thing.

Now we are in the position of the wikia being more or less ruined. Our only bureaucrat, who again is illegal and committed countless abuses, has been inactive for 10 days. Pages can't be unlocked, vandals are not blocked, and nothing is being done. I messaged Wikia staff on Wednesday asking them to lay out a clear method for removing this bureaucrat, and they have not responded to me since. Despite countless more messages and even posting on the respective users walls, they have not responded to me. So I'm really not sure what to do from this point forward. We have no way of removing this illegal bureaucrat and even if we had a larger community consensus, which I can't force people to vote, the Wikia Staff are simply not responding to me.
