At each level of administration -- Spamhunter, Moderator, and Administrator -- additional powers are granted and increased potential of causing irreparable damage to the contents of the forum is acquired. It is in the best interests of everyone (including the person being deputed) that they have a chance to grow accustomed to the tools available and learn the risks involved. This is especially true with the dramatic redistribution of positions that has recently taken place.
It's the case of the irresistible big red button
But real life has taken it's toll on my forum activity’s. I moved to a remote rural location with out internet access. I did inform some staff members that I would be away for a long while. Things took even longer than expected to get back on line. Soulgoode emailed me to ask if I wished to step down, but such are the current events in my life that I can not give a definitive answer as they are not all within my control.
