Current performance of admins

(Particularly for non-sysops) Do you feel that admins generally are putting their mop and buckets for the overall good of the project, or are they abusing them for some other purpose? Have they been sufficiently accountable to you in their performance?

Admins are doing a good job overall

Admins are doing a good job, but there are some bad eggs that should be removed

  2. Good luck doing it though. Mr.Z-man 20:04, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
  3. Mostly good, I just don't think I can quite say that every admin should have the tools. J Milburn (talk) 20:12, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
  4. Sure, just as in any group of people. - jc37 20:47, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

  6. Yes, there are some admins who are abusing the tools, that is for sure. Unless a proper community procedure for desysopping can be brought into place, the bad eggs will not be removed. On a more positive note, there are many admins who are doing a fantastic job. EJF (talk) 20:51, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

  8. Mostly true. I wish it was harder to remove the abusive bad eggs though. Wizardman 20:58, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

A few admins are doing a good job, but most of them are not

  1. "wheel warring" (admins undoing the admin action of another admin without consensus) is really bad, and seems quite rare. But that just means there's an amazing amount of bitching going on. People say "It's okay, we're used to the rough and tumble, so our standards are different, we know each other, we know that sometimes people are stressed." I dunno, that seems like a copout to me. There are some really challenging parts of wiki, and those editors (esp admins) will be under attack. Doesn't that mean that it's more important to (i'm not going to say 'be civil') respect another editors edits, even if that editor is a fuck-headed idiot? unless they're vandalising Dan Beale-Cocks 20:50, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
  2. Another point - I'm picking on a few visible admins, the fact that there's like a thousand means that most of them are probably doing good work. Dan Beale-Cocks 20:53, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
