Since, I see this said alot, I'm going to chime in to disagree a bit.

Admins are not regular users with a few additional tools. Admins need to be much more careful because they have these additional tools. They also set an example for other users and moderators. Unlike regular users, admins need to have a regular presence at a wiki, especially if there aren't enough admins or some are known to be absent for good reason (school, vacation, internet problems, etc.). Admins need work on making rules (policies and guidelines), but regular users are not obliged to... they are just supposed to follow them. Admins enforce the rules and need to be able to explain and justify their enforcement actions.

Many a wiki has been damaged or given a bad reputation, by admins who acted like regular users with a few additional tools. Admins should be held to a higher standard.

Feel free to disagree, but try to give some good reasons for your disagreement.
