well getting admin and getting respected are 2 totally different things. when having a chance to become respected, you are not known that much and still have not proven your true capacity of your will for RND.
on the other hand, when having a chance to become admin, youa re already recognized by the whole community (most of it). you dont necessarily have to worry about having abusers because ; lets face it, you have become a part of teh community and treat it with respect.
so therefor screening for respected should be taken becasue you have not shown who you are.
sanders what you say: "i like how people don't have to wait before becoming admin..."
what are you talking about? many people asking for admin have been waiting for MONTHS!
Also at teh same time there already is a serious attitude taken with admin; due to the fact that you have to be a long time player and newbie ones are ignored. but i personally think teh seriousness is infinite because the admin section has not really affected who becomes admin or not , with the exception of tomcat and magic. the rest are mostly friends of coolz.
therefor, your question is failzorz
