User blog comment:Master Ceadeus 27/The Administrators of Community Central/@comment-26474238-20131214054516

-Just two points I'd like to contest:


 * "Firstly, it should be noted that any Administrator is just a normal user..."
 * This is only true if Wikia were a Utopia. But the simple fact is that anyone with power, even imaginary power like having Sysop rights on a wiki, is going to be held in a higher regard than the typical account-holder or anonymous user. And this is fine - Administrators/Patrollers/Bureaucrats/Moderators/Chat Moderaters... etc. are typically voted in by the community or are hand-picked by Wikia Staff for their skills and leadership capabilities. Nothing wrong with that as long as they respect the tools and the status that comes with them.
 * "It should be noted, however, that some admins on central may have other, GLOBAL rights that they can/do use on other wikis-like Helper or VSTF."
 * I'd be careful saying that in such a vague manner. I respect members of the VSTF greatly. But on larger wikis such as my home wiki of Nukapedia, we've had issues before with global rights users extending their will over the local leadership. So to re-elaborate for those reading here: Helpers and VSTF are always welcome, but remember that they have to abide by the local wiki etiquette instead of making assertive actions unilaterally. Especially if they are new to the wiki and are not yet familiar with the community rules and taboos.
