I suggest that candidates must be nominated by an existing admin.
hell does not appear to be frozen over
Having more admins, and therefore more sensible admins ;-), makes this much easier to keep under control by the community.
It is the percentage not the absolute numbers that matter. We are very close to 500 admins they are some of the most active members of the comunity. Can you show me where the views of admins have been that different from those of the community?
