But what is a good admin? As an admin you are going to have
people hate you. You are going to have situations where you
are under pressure. If you can't handle that perhaps you are
better off specaliseing in adding content.
A good admin is one who cleans up, enforces policy, and is fair and neutral
in disputes. An excellent admin is one who can transcend policy to solve
problems with his or her own individual genius. A bad admin is one who
transcends policy with his or her own individual genius.
