If an admin is bad, then the default features of the game can be abused.

Why should we have to gimp our mods? lol

Because stupid children play this game and complain when their server goes to hell in a hand basket..

It is mostly just kids giving admin to their friends, or they have to give admin out to those who ask because it makes them feel bad if they do not. If the host is like that, the server is generally bad anyway.

Whenever I (rarely) host a server, I only give admin to my closest friends.

Admin applications are a joke.

More (useless) admins can lead to more problems. This is why I favor servers with low-maintanance and minimal administrational effort required.

Haha that was pretty funny. No gimp doesn't mean jipped.

Both 'he's my friend he gets admin' and 'he has good application he gets admin' are dumb ways of doing it.

When people make their friends admins, it tends to go like this:
well forget, i'm the hosts friend i can forget around all i want and not get in stuff
oh, my friend is trolling these guys, so loving funny

Applications is taking it too far and you could possibly be letting a huge liar get admin.

I, personally, give admin to people I've seen be good admins.

Admins exist to keep servers in line and assist the host. If an admin uses his capabilities to disrupt the server or hinder the enjoyment of the players, hes a badmin. badmins are chiefly the result of the host answering yes to:

"Hey im the first one here, do I get admin?"
"Hey, we've been friends for a while, can i have admin please?
"Hey can i have admin since your going afk to poop and you need someone to look after the server?"

on another note, I misread

I feel like Badspot is being a richard by
1) not letting us modify shape names
2) not letting us modify the playerlist
Imagine how cool a RPG would be if in the playerlist for an RPG it said the level and class?
And a quest giving bot with a name
Seriously, what the forget Badspot?

No, I'm pretty sure you can change the player list.
