 ::::I know I'm pretty much pissing into the wind here, given past efforts at making Wikipedia better for its users, but here goes.  I'm an admin who does a huge amount of work in high-tension, vicious places on Wikipedia; Pending changes (where I'm the one closing the round of RfCs myself), I/P, ARBMAC, castes (a recent blowup is now in the latest ANI archives, if you'd like to see how fun if is to deal with), so I see a lot of the worst.  My ways of dealing with it are laid out , so I'm the last admin you need to worry about, but I'm not typical (neuro and otherwise); most people get fed up with the undying shit stream that is those areas and NPP.  Our slavish attitude towards speedy deletion creates tons of problems for everyone, but especially when people go for adminship and get slammed for not engaging in utter pedantry (how DARE you tag an article about a game someone made up yesterday for speedy deletion, there's no criterion for that!!!! opposes).  Similarly, anyone editing in controversial articles is likely to come under the gun for accidentally reverting twice in 23:54 hours, and if I do or don't impose sanctions I catch a ton of flak from whichever side feels aggrieved.  I have no love for getting the wool pulled over my eyes, and a lot of people are still stinging from that.  Instead of pompously declaring the Grand Solution, I'll instead suggest that 1. NPPers and admins should be treated like humans instead of allowing people to treat them like shit with impunity (I've been told to fuck myself with a knife for blocking someone and had my intelligence questioned for closing RfCs certain ways; I'll live, but most people would never put themselves in that position) 2. pursuant to that, actually acknowledge we do a good job (more for NPPers, but admins run into this as well) and 3. let us crack down on obvious bullshit if we see it without being hounded to death about process (I only got away from the caste example above because the area is under discretionary sanctions, and editors disagreeing with me would have to go through ArbCom or the community).  It won't solve everything, but it'd sure help those of us who aren't busy chasing our tails trying to recruit women or bickering over Gibraltarpedia crap because we're willing to stand up to the real problems here.
