There are bajillions people applying to become admins. An admin is in no way that "valuable" to stay when there are 10x more complains about that single admin than for any other one. Even if nuffen is "innocent" and if we loose a good admin, there are plenty of people that can do the job correctly, waiting in the EU admin applications thread. So all the complains about "not enough admins" seem a bit strange to me. *ad* You can also play on the Pecores battle server which is allmost never left without at least an admin on */ad*
If you want a good admin team, getting in should be easy, and getting out even easier. Merit > connections, although (and I fully understand) in the context of a community-run mod, it is highly unlikely that people "in charge" will nominate admins without heavily valuing relationships and reputation.
Disclaimer : it may sound like I'm criticizing nuffen for being boosted as admin. It's not. Even if true, in this context it's not a problem in my opinion. However, the dev team shouldn't be blind either.
