"The police and government aren't doing enough to curb crime here in our town. Let's fire all of them."
Until Wikipedia gets a Batman, that's not a solution.
Except that Wikipedia's administrators are not particularly much involved in "stopping crime".
Right. But throwing out the entire lot of them, as Malleus is suggesting, isn't going to help either.
You can't really say "all admins are bad," especially when by Wikipedia terms, what they're doing is exactly what's expected. If you change the responsibilities, you change the expectations. Until then, no point in blaming volunteers for doing what they want to with no supervision.
