I really didn't want to have to dive head first in this, but rather have someone who takes a much less controversial role in things do it. I am proposing that the user Sloshedtrain step down as a bureaucrat and assume the position of simple administrator.

It is for these reasons: This isn't anything personal against him, and I am certain that the final piece was done out of good-faith. But, I don't think that he is fit to assume the role of bureaucrat.
 * He's lurking. He makes a few edits and does not throw a lot of say in around the wiki.
 * He does very little with his crat rights. When's the last time he proposed a policy or handled a user right?
 * He doesn't act as a community leader. When you are a crat, you are looked upon as the leader of the community. Sloshed hasn't done a lot of stuff like that since I've became admin, with the exception of the Slenderman Stabbing statement and maybe a couple other things.
 * He's given rights to people who were clearly not fit for the roles. Remember TheOperator?
 * 01:04, December 14, 2013 Sloshedtrain (talk | contribs | block) changed group membership for User:TheOperator from (none) to rollback.

I think he is a good administrator in some respects, and I have no doubt he was a good bureaucrat when he received the position in 2012/2013, whichever one.

>inb4 You just want him gone so you can get the position.

No. Him stepping down or not would have absolutely no affect on whether my reapplication in the future passes or not.

He's not lurking! He is active!

Special:Contributions/Sloshedtrain

He made 3 edits, so far today. 4 yesterday, 5 the day before, and 4 before that. That is technically lurking. Here are his logs.

http://creepypasta.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=&user=Sloshedtrain&page=&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=&hide_patrol_log=1

The last time he deleted something was almost a month ago.

You can't demote crats.

If the thread passes, he will be asked to step down. If he refuses, he will given a chance at redemption, but after that, Staff will be contacted.

He's a good admin!

I'm calling for the removal of his bureaucrat rights, not admin. At least until he shows he is still fit for the position.

Again, this isn't anything personal, and I hope that Sloshed will not hold this against me. I just don't see him taking much of a proactive effort in his job.
