Yeah - especially these days, the effort it takes to get one admin account
is probably
enough to dissuade almost anyone who wants to get one to do evil.  Trying to
get 10 of them would take an awful lot of effort.

Of course, trying to take out RC patrollers is probably one of the least
efficient ways to do harm with an admin account.
