First off, the kudos system isn't anonymous. If you clicked on the "# Kudos" link, it shows who all voted. It is a legitimate way of voting and I gave a 24 hour time limit from our last vote. Seeing as it was just gonna stay like that for about a week unless someone actually did something, I closed it. If there is enough backlash, then fine, we will have a revote, but only if there is a backlash.

Second, just because a user worked for months and even years on their position doesn't mean they're entitled to keep their position forever. The four bureaucrats, sans Myself who's recently been more active than usual, are inactive. Grave, Genesjs, Morff, they're not active at all unless something comes up about their rights or a major site discussion. If you show up for something concerning user rights after being gone for a lengthy period of time, then disappear right afterword, that's saying something.

Finally, Myself was the only one who opposed using the kudos system. Counting your vote, and even counting Morff's comment long before the voting began, it was only three users who were against the idea. Three out of ten users who thought the idea of a bureaucrat team was good. Community consensus decided our decisions for the longest time, why question it this time?

Morff, Myself, Gen, and Grave have all been given a week, and if circumstances are required, I will allow them to take on more time in case Wikia staff does not respond. I'm actually being helpful by allowing this: I could be a big jerk and contact Wikia staff and tell them directly to demote the four based on our thread consensus, but I'm being kind to the four.
