I think you will make a lot of trouble and accomplish nothing.

As you raise the userbox issue, if an admin is doing something that
the majority of the community does not support then he's doing the
wrong thing. If his actions are controversial within only a small
part of the community but actually is in accordance with policy,
then other wikipedians will come in to support and drown the trolls.
There should be a mechanism to impeach admins without going
through ArbCom. Apart from increasing accountability, the next time
trolls complain about admin abuse and corrupt ArbCom we can just
point to the mechanism and say what are you waiting for? If there
is some support in this list I may go ahead and start a proposal.
What do you think?

make
you unpopular. Look at the administrators who have been vilified
for attempting in all good faith to deal with the userbox problem.
