There may not be the most agreeable justification for Bullet and Bluespeeder immediately being entrusted with Administrator rights after purposefully demoting themselves. However, given the current status of the former (Bullet's Administrative skills outweighing this sudden re-promotion, which seems like a minor discrepancy to complain about) and the latter (BlueSpeeder willfully setting up a renewal nomination to determine the community's thoughts on his position), there should be no issue if each user has been accepted thus far.

Yet, nobody seems to have set up a renewal nomination for Bullet. What strikes me skeptical about this, is that people began to raise eyebrows at his sudden re-promotion, but ignored BlueSpeeder's own ways of begging for attention in the months prior to that.

It's funny how paranoid the community is to gang up on a single user based off of his past reputation. Well, regarding your statement on nobody setting up a renewal for Bullet, that's because only he can set up a renewal for himself. The only thing anybody would be able to do is set up a demotion, which would likely not fly over well with anybody.

I think, originally, people were fine BlueSpeeder getting his rights back because it was the first time a thing like that had happened. He requested his rights removed, but changed his mind. Okay, he was not gone for that long, we'll give him his rights back.

It happens again. Eeeeh, we're a little shakey, but we'll give him another shot.

Meanwhile, Bullet comes back after demoting himself and being inactive for nearly a year. Of course this will raise eyebrows, especially considering the strained relations with the community that were still left relatively unresolved.

Then, BlueSpeeder demoted himself once again, and I think that's when the community decided they were concerned about this.

As for the community "ganging up" on a single user, it seems that it is equally dissaproving of both. I agree that if the community had a problem, it should have brought it up earlier, but it seems like this place takes a while to properly gather its thoughts. Now, I'm not saying we should demote the users or anything, but for the future, we simply want to know what will be considered acceptable or not.
