In my experience, before life found me resigning my Administrative post, I came to understand that there is nothing glamorous about being an Administrator or similar except for narcissistic and egocentric purposes. As a wiki grows and grows, those that gain access to the Special Rights tools are drawn into a political environment that is more about appeasing egos and beating around the bush rather than actually helping the wiki itself grow content-wise. Do not get me wrong - Sysops and Moderators are an important part of any community/encyclopedia, and are able to offer their knowledge and wisdom for those that seek it. One just has to remember that between dealing with irrational people, fighting spam bots and spending more time cleaning up vandalism rather than actually making constructive edits, and trying to seek a middle-ground for being a direct leader yet not a leader that makes enough waves to become a phariah amongst the community, the life of a Special Rights holder ultimately becomes a position of neither glory nor dignity.

Remember not to place so much importance on an imaginary title which bestows imaginary power.
