In this context, a "bad admin" is an admin who does not respect the

Ah and thats where it gets tricky doesn't it. "Improve the
encyclopedia" so subjective. The fact is removeing admins who have
missused rollback would easly remove 1/3rd of the admins. It would
also be likely to hit the most active admins. Under such a situation
the only option would be to lock the database until we promoted some
more.
There are a minium number of admins we need to continue fuctioning.
And if we have to allow admins who you view as bad in order to reach
that number there isn't much you can do about it.
