And besides, it's not like a compromised admin could do permanent
damage. Unlike a few years ago, everything can be reverted.

Tonight, you’re all gonna be a part of a social experiment.
Through the
magic of hacking skills and steward powers, I’m ready right now
to blow
your
minds sky high. Anyone attempts to block me or revert, you all get
desysopped.
Each of you has a button to block another editor. At midnight, I
desysop
and
block you all. If, however, one of you indefinitely blocks as many
constructive editors as you can, I’ll let that admin keep their
admin
powers. So, who’s it gonna be? Wikipedia’s most-wanted scumbag
collection
or
the sweet and innocent contributors? You choose. Oh, and you
might wanna
decide quickly because the other administrators may not be quite so
noble. ―
The Joker
