No.

Are you saying 9 people of varying ranks all giving their input into one decision isn't democratic? Because that's exactly what democracy is.

Members that took part in the decision process: Me, Soul, Turtle, Hitman, Audacter, Falcao, Pear, Tomo and Ivan.

I see nowhere I can vote who should represent me in the administrative team. As such, it's not a democratic process.

Democracy can be broken down into 2 definitions;

Appointed legitimacy and Voted legitimacy.

When someone is voted to a position they have democratic legitimacy because that individual, in most cases, has the highest vote share.

When somone is appointed they still have democratic legitimacy, for exampled the Queen is still democratically legitimate because the majority of people want her to be there, just like the members of the staff team. They were not elected, but they have legitimacy.

EDIT: The one thing that makes their legitimacy shaky is the fact that there isn't really a process to remove them - for example there cannot be a server wide referendum to remove them from their position

There is no outlet for discussion of how things are run. Usually such threads discussing this are closed, usually with no reasoning outside of admin disrespect of going off topic. Admins can't be demoted outside of admin abuse cases - and mind you, those are decided by the admins themselves. In the real world, not being able to remove somebody from power through democratic processes is a dictatorship; a non-democratic country.
Who gets to become admin and who doesn't is decided by a central group, therefore not democratic. Democratic means governed by the people. Full stop. 

There's no vote on who gets to become an admin in the first place, and there's no democratic process of retracting their power. Whether 51% agrees with somebody being an administrator is absolutely irrelevant.
