Silverback, you couldn't have said it better about adminship. If we were more effective at removing admins we could be more generous about installing them.

I have heard this line of argument a few times now from people advocating some form of quick and easy de-adminship without resorting to arbitration. In general, I think we already readily give adminship to those who are nominated, and anyone who has a close call on their first try will normally pass overwhelmingly after waiting a month or two. I invite anyone who believes the argument above to point me to a case where having an easier de-adminship process would have made the difference in the success of an adminship nomination.

We could be more generous in seeking out candidates and making nominations, of course, but that's a different matter. There are many good users out there who are just waiting for a nomination.
