-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I feel the same as k2, giving strangers admin on my servers just doesn't seem like a good way to help alleviate hacking. I am pretty strict on my admins, first off I have to know them and they must be part of the community I belong too, then they have to spend time on the server following and helping with rules, then they get a trial time. If they don't spend a decent amount of time on the server they get cut so more dedicated people can join. It sounds harsh but it works, we have a great admin prescence and little to no hackers. I think the big problem with most servers is they allow friends and friends of friends to become admins, those people lose interest or barely play and are never removed or replaced. Anyone can be given admin rights but not everyone can be an admin. If you could form some kind of "Admin" community to where we could all get to know each other I would be more open to something like this. My humble two cents.
