:Unlike in your examples about Joe the Plumber (though I appreciate the reference, politics ftw), I know what I'm talking about. I am not saying you don't have to know what you're talking about in order to be a good judge, but just because you're not good at what you do doesn't mean you can't judge it. The step team teacher at my high school is a fat lady who is extremely uncoordinated, but the step team is awesome. She's a great coach, even if she can't do it herself. So, like Ms. Horman, I am able to judge whether or not a candidate is viable even though I may not be the perfect sysop myself. In this analogy, you're Sarah Palin- you're not in Kansas anymore. | :Unlike in your examples about Joe the Plumber (though I appreciate the reference, politics ftw), I know what I'm talking about.

::More important than the penultimate line of [[SmashWiki:Administrators#What can administrators not do?]|this paragraph]] is its last line: "The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community." It seems that replacing "admin" with "bureaucrat" is also a good statement to keep in mind. This isn't about Shadowcrest's "delusions of godhood" -- it's about him trying to reduce the amount of work required of C-Hawk by creating redundancy in the system. And that's an important step.
