It's pretty easy to say "thuggish admins going wild"... but what is needed are specific examples and cases.
And the fact that examples are usually lacking when this sort of complaint is made - and all too often turn out to be an admin being far too patient with someone not warranting it and eventually blowing their top - means such complaints are generally taken no notice of.
