-I fully understand what you are saying. But I would like to know how we would handle this change. Forums are different then mainspace, and we have people who only work it that area who are respectful to other editors and have proven they are not trolls. But they are unproven in other area's as far as some are concerned.

I would need to know what our requirements are for forum-based admins. We need a few more admins, and If we can get one from there that can do the job and protect the wiki then I am all for it, but I dont want us to jump in blind.

So I have a few questions If you can help clear them up.

Will the requirements change for what it takes to be an Admin? How much and how will we treat current Admins if we change the rules?

Once a forum-based Admin is promoted, will they only work in the forums, or can we trust they will assist in all parts of the wiki as the need arises?

Will we ask these new admins to be a part of the mainspace, and will they have the knowledge needed to handle these newer tasks?

This is a big thing you are recommending in. We should make sure we know the ups and downs before we open those gates. I don't oppose the idea, but I don't want us shooting ourselves in the foot because we where winging it along the way.
