Ten steps to moving on after a KGS ban

[Javaness2]

tl/dr: My arguments here are somewhat in jest, but only to illustrate the point that the question of an admin's value to the server, and/or the effort they exert, cannot be taken seriously from a 30-day sample of log files. Likewise, just throwing around a stat like that to try to strengthen the argument doesn't achieve its intended purpose.

To be perfectly honest, I found duckweed's joke funnier.

As a KGS admin, I would imagine that you would.

The OP is amusing, and kind of an interesting idea, I think. But I have to agree with Robert here. But maybe I'll go even further than that...

In some ways, I'd almost prefer not having admins. People always scoff at the idea, and then make some comment about Yahoo go and the lack of structure there - or something like that. But I can't recall a single instance that I really wished that someone would be banned, whereas I do recall times where I was a little upset with an admin's apparent decision to ban someone.

I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority here, but I'd be pretty happy with a server that had no admins. I guess the only thing I can think of that would bug me is spam (which has a different meaning to different people).

I mostly don't see the need for admins to ban the people on KGS or on L19. But that's because they're here, doing their work!

If you have any doubt, go read rec.games.abstract for awhile, or the comments thread of the average blog. Or note that the game network for the Wii has an entire part of their system designed to detect user submitted drawings of male genitalia.
