Here's an idea. No demotion threads. If multiple user has an issue with a mod (causing drama, breaking rules, and other grounds for demotion; be they minor or large), then they take it to a Bcrat. That Bcrat will then take the mod aside and talk about with them privately, to get their side of the story. Then the Bcrat makes the decision from there. They can either decide to demote them, leave them be, or "shadow" them for a few days to see how they handle problems, and make a decision from there.

The pros of this are that there is no thread and little drama. Since the mod gets to defend themselves and also prove themselves, if they are demoted it will be on better terms instead of a thread that is pretty much a guaranteed demotion because of the herd mentality of voting, and the ever present drama and bashing that seems to occur in every thread.

Short on time, so I can't list any cons; but I'm sure there are some. Feel free to point them out.

Note: This was literally just an idea of the top of my head. If it won't work, then that's fine. I'm trying to get some discussion going on how we can handle demotions without causing shit and making everyone pissed.
