user295: What is the process of petition a moderator to be removed? What are the reasons a moderator can be removed?

user7: Please see the Meta Stack Exchange post Handling Calls to Remove a Moderator. This outlines the process the community, along with the Community Managers, has settled upon as the protocol for removing a moderator.
I'll quote the initiation process. You can read the rest in this answer.

The process will be initiated by a formal request from one or more moderators on a site, sent privately via an email to community@stackexchange.com.
The process may also be initiated by the Community Team at Stack Exchange, Inc. in response to numerous, substantiated complaints from users on the site.
In either case, the complaints will be treated by Stack Exchange as confidential, and their authors will not be named by us at any point in the process.
