User blog comment:Sannse/Choosing the Right Admins - Revisited/@comment-28083312-20171011225538

I have (unfortunately) been involved in a number of Wikis where Bureaucrat rights were dished out to everyone who asked. More than once in my time on FANDOM I have had Bureaucrats demoted, & in an especially bad case it was even necessary to demote every single Bureaucrat including myself & to leave a successor behind, due to how many there were & how frequently they were either abusing their rights to silence people or promoting other Bureaucrats at random despite attempts to get them to stop. Due to these experiences I regard Bureaucrat rights as something to be given out only on exceedingly rare occasions, if at all. Administrator rights I often am more flexible with, depending on the Wiki, because as powerful as it is, it can be taken away very quickly & with minimal fuss. Admin rights let you do basically anything you might need to on a Wiki, whereas Bureaucrat rights only give you a few more tools, but they can be much more dangerous if given to the wrong person. Therefore, I feel that much more caution should be present in blogs like these than what is already present.
