We need technical means to handle that message.
No you don't. Clearly noticing such activity isn't a problem because you noticed and you're complaining about it. If you notice an administrator doing things you believe to be wrong or in violation of the rules or whatever, you complain to them, and if they don't listen, you complain on the village pump or the admins noticeboard or whichever on-wiki discussion forum takes your fancy, and then the community as a whole can discuss it. They might decide to discipline the admin, they might decide you're full of it, or they might decide nothing at all (no consensus). But this is a social problem, by no means a technical one.
I disagree, Roan, that the solution here is *completely* social; "you noticed it, didn't you" doesn't scale.
