Secondly, I'd like to point people to this post from the Wikipedia Review: http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=204&view=findpost&... Should we tighten things up a bit at R/D fAdmin? Sure, it isn't wt it's all made out to be, but with admin powers in the wrong hands it, hypotheticaly speaking, could go pear-shaped.
Supposing their plan worked, and they didn't slip up, they would have one or maybe two admin accounts in a few month's time. So what? The "good guys" have:
- Jimbo - The Board - The developers - >500 admins
on their side. Even if they *did* secure an Arbcom spot, it would not greatly affect things; at some point they would start carrying out their Evil Plan of Doom (TM) and would be forced to recuse themselves from most cases they hoped to influence.
Besides which, if we get a few thousand good edits, and a few half-decent admins (even if they *do* turn out to be evil) for a year, who ultimately benefits? WE do!
