Annoying sound relays are the way to go.

You can have a good administrators without giving anyone admin, moderator, rights, etc.
An administrator can basically answer questions, help players, report problems, and find issues without getting an A next to their name in the player list. Administrator is more of a title than a responsibility. The best test is to see who can do admin tasks best without actually having admin on the server.

Frankly, I see it like this. If whatever you're hosting is good, people will start coming forward as 'regulars.' These regulars will soon be more knowledgeable than others, and they are ideal choices for promotion to admin. Until you get these people on your server, you've got a couple of options. You can just have friends moderate it, but that depends on who your friends are. I personally don't mind if people think my admins are stuffty, so I admin my friends anyway. Your could also just shut down the server when you leave until these regulars start to separate out. Or you could just leave it up and hope nobody forgets it up. No server will have admins present 100% of the time, so you want your server to be at least enough quality to stand 6 hours or more without an admin present. The best servers are ones that never require a moderator.
