I just want to clarify that this thread is not about demoting users. I know that you think revotes for rights mean that you're going to get demoted, but that isnt always the case. If you abuse your rights than chances are, yes, you will be demoted. However, there are basically no users with rights that have broken enough policies to warrant demotion. This revote is simply to keep our community fresh and allow the active users to choose who deserves rights and who doesnt. Also keep in mind that this will likely be a "majority rules" type of thing so if anyone were to be demoted, it would only be if the majority of the community thinks so.

Another reason for having a revote (preferrably for users who did not pass through Request For Rights) is to keep old, inactive users with rights to come back and abuse their rights, believing that this wiki is still the dictatorship that it was. Sure, we could use the process that Melt suggested, but this is just a much faster, easier, and more democratic way. Plus we all know how long it takes the admins to vote and take action, as seen in the past.
