So do a lot of others who have put in a lot of
time without ever having
bothered to become an admin.
Becoming an admin these days is a stupidly big deal. RFA needs an
enema in so many ways. Lots of good people don't bother any more - so
the process filters for a cross between politicians and semi-humanoid
killbots.
Jimbo, this isn't the RFA you remember.
I know that, and agree about the need for change to RFA, but the point
remains: our admins are a good bunch, and in some cases (WP:BLP cases in
particular), restricting things to admins to make a decision is a good
thing. Sure, other people can help, and not all good people become
admins, but the admins do a good job.
