They are, admin is another matter, and if a 'crat is blocked, and can't use the unblock tool because they don't have admin, there's nothing they can do to change rights. In this case, staff should be contacted to sort out the mess. The philosophy behind this is that b'crat should only be given to highly trusted users, and so the chances of it being abused like this are low, and if that happens - staff probably need to get involved anyway
