good question...

Kem had been acting notably odd for a little while (around the time that the blacklist overhaul with its bugs); just like-- kinda short with everyone and getting unnecessarily aggressive in edit reasons. then suddenly, few days later, decided to mass-hide a huge chunk/all of the account's forum posts/threads (including pending AIBURs) and comments, an action that was met with a negative record. less than two minutes later the account had been deleted.

It's unfortunate how Privileged individuals often acquire negative records that result in them being promptly demoted back to a member rank. This has happened with AoBird and now Kemo.

Damn…

Kem's account never had the privileged rank removed, ranks are applied/removed manually, user feedbacks don't have direct effect on user level. the only reason the account isn't privileged anymore is because it's deleted.

AoBird definitely deserved the demotion, though. Priv is a sign of express approval from the admins, if someone did something to lose their endorsement they ought to lose priv as well.
