On the bright side, this does reduce the cost of space exploration with cheaper access to low earth orbit. :) The problem is adminship became something like knighthood even though it is barely significant. Perhaps more admin tools should be available to those "worthy" such as how rollback became no big deal. Also maybe calling them "administrators" is a problem. Original SysOp sounds less authoritarian. I know administrator also means Janitor in English but I noticed the problem when newbies, particularly non-native speakers perceive the status. Another point I like to make is how BJODAN was removed. Indeed it was a problem and its removal was more or less a blessing but the wiki became too serious business (intentional LOLCAT reference). These are just a few ideas to consider... -- とある白い猫 (To Aru Shiroi Neko) On Wed, Nov 2, 2011 at 21:52, Kim Bruning <kim(a)bruning.xs4all.nl> wrote:

But we could try some saturnalia where e.g. rollbackers are given all sysops rights, sysops lose all sysop rights and arbitrators lose even rights given to autoconfirmed users. :-D Nemo
