That would be in line with things I have suggested to him, but as with most heresay, is incorrect via misinterpretation on handover... I am happy with the current level of admins, but in an ongoing manner I monitor player activity and discussion, removing and assigning new admins where necessary or appropriate.
This, I guess, could be interpreted that I do plan on removing some people's admin... but it isn't something I may end up doing, depending on circumstances.
At the moment, for example, I am the only admin on the mtadm server, but this, of course, will not always be the case.
Key thing here to remember is, admin is not something one should look at taking on for fun... it's a job, and it will interfere with your continuous racing. Misusing it puts you at risk of losing respect with me, so it introduces other responsibilities as well.
Personally, I've been offered then almost had forced upon me the admin of various servers.. while I accept the responsibility when this happens, I don't look to it as something of massive bonus, as it means any time someone is cheating in the server, my game is ruined first.. since I'm expected to stop what I'm doing, spectate the cheater, verify it's a legit claim, then freeze/ban their arse... sounds good on the face of it.. but ultimately, most others just went on racing and enjoyed their sitting, while I fiddled and got pissy at someone.
Think about that. I consider all this, and the way in which admins are able to communicate and maintain these rules in the server, without ruining the vibe/fun spirit of the place. This is a pretty unique set of talents.. and a reason we should appreciate the patient work of these people, while not necessarily feeling like we need to do it ourselves... it's a very Zen lesson not to work doing that which you love.. unless you want to turn it into work, that is.
