Hello, yes, thank you. Action was taken when he was about to replace our last existing admin. With the help of his crat puppets, he managed to accumulate enough power to make promotions, demotions and make huge wiki decisions within minutes. He had replaced most of our crats, admins and mods with unqualified users that were under his control.

They reported him to Wikia after banning him. I was nominated back in shortly after. It's unfortunate losing just under a dozen admins within a few months, but we're working with the community to establish rules that can be better enforced to keep this "Trick by Troll" event, as others called it, from ever occurring again.

The only things we have yet to resolve are the proper punishments for each of Yami's accomplices and 'puppets'. However, Wikia has already helped with some of this. We will also be holding a meeting to justify all the unqualified and unapproved promotions/demotions made under Yami's 'rule' (As Yami himself called it).

Currently, users are demanding that Yami's Wikia star be removed. His star was originally granted by Wikia, with my recommendation, to fight sockpuppets easier. We assumed Wikia was going to take care of that as well when he was reported, but for a while now, I haven't heard anything about this from the admin that handled the situation. I am assuming we have to take extra steps to request a Star revocation?

I'm glad we got this resolved. I'm just a bit disappointed that Semanticdrifter unknowingly aided a coup d'etat without looking carefully into the situation, although he did do his best to help me afterward. I appreciate you and drifter's assistance.
