Badly, for the most part :-)

The admins considered good by other admins are the ones who are
prepared to take on the difficult tasks.  A small but very vocal group
of non-admins considers these to be the *worst* admins, because they
are typically the ones who delete things like Encyclopedia Dramatica,
myg0t and GNAA.

There is a culture of baiting these admins until they crack.  A recent
example was MONGO.  There are others.
