Yes, people don't randomly become sysop, but the big issue resolved around sysops multi-wiki. I won't go in big details, but all of the corrupt system resolved around sysops on other wikis, then on FNAF. A normal user certainly can't reproduce this, but an admin can. Admins on FNAF didn't create this, it was created via the hacker using the admin's powers. If he gotten a normal account, nothing would happen (just trolling on said account). Anyone editing the MediaWiki JS pages can cause issues. Letting admins to changes won't do anything, the same thing will happen over and over again. Nothing will be patched at all.

I agree with this, I guess. Its just that many people just scream "sysop" or "bad admin" for something they don't like. Someone said this in the last thread, but there should be 2-factor authentication for any elevated user especially staff. I would be happy to double lock my account in this fashion as sometimes admins even place passwords accidentally in articles or comments (this is RARE but it DEFINITELY happens). Admin accounts, staff and VSTF/code-editor should NOT be so vulnerable to compromise even by brute force methods. This would really be a good idea.

Hope this clears that up, I made assumptions in my last comment so please accept my sincere apology.
