haha I like Longshot too. I think everyone should be able to file a grievance, but user grievances against admins would not lead to demotion. They would just be recorded as an acknowledgement that someone felt they were unfairly blocked or whatever, and if there's a history it could indicate a problem that the rest of the admins might look into at some point. In the more serious event that admin x filed a grievance against admin y, the admins should vote. A majority yes vote would mean the grievance is sustained and a majority no vote would mean the grievance has been acknowledged. A sustained grievance would be a black mark against the admin and our demotion policy should be a three-strike (?) or six-strike (?) rule. Something along those lines. An acknowledged grievance would be the admins possibly agreeing "yeah, admin x was being a dick to admin y, but we're not gonna move towards a demotion for that." I honestly don't think this system would proceed that far, because if we voted to sustain a grievance, admin x is probably more likely just to quit in a huff. And I don't see it being used in any of our cases as we've been around for awhile. Moving forward, I think this, or something like it, is a reasonable system.
