I'm inclined to agree. I just need you to commit to using the power responsibly.

When someone gets on your nerves it's easy to misunderstand what they're doing as malicious when it's really not; you'll need to wield ban and delete privileges with a very light touch.

Sometimes you've just gotta delete & ban, e.g. when something is obvious vandalism. But if someone is just getting on your nerves, you have to show levels of restraint that seem crazy, just so you're not crushing someone innocent over what may just be a misunderstanding or different way of seeing things.

The reason I emphasize this is I've been on wikis (including on wikia/fandom) whose admins were... not so generous, shall we say, and I learned a lot about who to be and not to be as a result. Online and in real life. ;)

Admin powers mean having the nuclear option at your fingertips at all times, and almost never reaching for it. Are you okay with taking that on?
