Karl-
Perhaps it's just the title
("sysop") I don't like. I would agree with something called "advanced
editor" or "senior editor", though.
That would be highly misleading. Sysops are *not* editors, they are not
responsible for moderating content, they merely deal with vandalism and
carry out the requests of the users (e.g. votes for deletion).
I already proposed "caretaker" or "plumber" on the German list, but
nobody responded. Maybe someone else can come up with a nice name which
is associated with physical work (that is a burden and not joyful).
