I think the change Ant just made will solve much of the problems. The main issue at hand is (this may sound mean) but many of the current admins aren't mature enough, and don't have enough sense to uphold a discretionary rule. What do I mean by that? I'll give an example, speeding. If a policeman pulls you over for speeding, unless he's a highway patrolman (they never give warnings, only tickets), you might get off with a warning, or a ticket. What happens is the officer looks at your driver record, he also takes note of how respectful you are to him, how fast you were going, the road you're on etc. He is not required to write a speeding ticket every time he pulls someone over for speeding, he has the discretion to let it slide, or take other action. The "disrespect" rule is not a clear cut rule. no glitching, no cheating, no holding the mic button down for an extended period of time; those are clear cut rules. The disrespect rule allowed way too much room for interpretation, and when you get a bunch of kids or immature admins who get admin powers, they get power hungry and want to constantly be governing something.
Cheers to Ant for figuring this one out. I think things will begin to vastly improve once all the admins are made aware of the change. and I ++++ the statement Travis made about age requirements for admin.
