I almost wish it were feasible to make a "Request for De-adminship" where someone could be nominated for admin removal as a result of a user conduct RFC, but then I realize what a trollpit that would become in a matter of hours. Arbcom is really the only way to take away admin rights with any measure of civillity and rationality. And they are swamped.
Maybe we need to be thinking harder about how to improve Arbcom.

Maybe the arb com needs to be thinking harder about how to improve arbcom. Would it be out of the arbcom's jurisdiction to establish groups of people to help them out? Couldn't they say "X, Y, and Z are beurocrats who, if the three of them agree, can temporarily de-admin a user; the arbcom reserves the power to overrule any decision they make"?

General when we need to remove an admin fast we don't bother with official channels.

Who said anything about acting fast? Ryan said the arb com was swamped. Unless the arbcom wound up reviewing every single instance of de-adminship, this would greatly reduce the load on them. In fact, even if they didn't review every single instance it'd still reduce the load on them, because someone else would have already organized the facts and reasons surrounding the issue. Finally, if *all* issues of de-adminship had to pass through that committee first, it'd eliminate the frivolous cases regarding de-adminship completely.
Whatever, though, it's up to the arb com what they want to do. Maybe they don't even think they're swamped.
