I saw this idea on Pelinal's blog, and I agree with Sajuuk. No offense, but this is a dumb idea. For one, raising everyone to an Admin position would create chaos since there are those who would abuse this power and it would plunge the wiki into anarchy among Admin's. You might as well get rid of the Admin post in its entirerity if you ascend any above a normal user. As I mentioned with another user, doing so is a bad idea.

That, and it goes against what I have said here. An administrator is sacked with a tough responsibility. We need to have standards for an Admin. Just because they may have proved capable enough to make sure someone doesn't say a cuss word in the chat or a forum doesn't mean they are fit to run an entire website, which is what an Admin does from behind the scenes. As I said before, anyone who is even considered for candidacy should have a perfect track record, ample free time, and a strong tie to the communtity, requirements most here do not even adequately meet. Sorry, but this idea should be scrapped. And one more thing. Admin's can't just ascend anyone below them into the same position as them without choice. Seeing as there is an apparent lack of Administrators, not many want to become an Admin anyway.
