Admin goldfarming. If you want to level up, getting known as an AFD regular is a good way to get !votes.
Now there's an idea. Register an account, rack up a pile of edits with AWB and participate in a bunch of deletion discussions, and then sell the account to the highest bidder... any bets that this is happening already?

Maybe that was the purpose of the account that edited the article then nominated the article for deletion based upon the article missing what he had just removed from it....
I just can't imagine a less desirable item to put up for bid than a Wikipedia admin account. Pay to be an administrator on Wikipedia?

You'd be amazed at how many people somehow think it would be the coolest thing in the world. I honestly don't know why you'd pay for an admin account. If you want to get flamed on a daily basis, USENET and any number of web forums are absolutely free. But some people think admins have some type of mythical ability to do whatever they like, and block anyone who dares question them.
