User blog comment:KazMx/Rights or Wrongs? - The Kaz Corollary/@comment-3451074-20110913235108/@comment-33628828-20110914234731

I still maintain that there shouldn't be a correlation between rights and "status" in the community. You're right, all 'crats can do is check a few boxes, and are trusted to go into rights requests level-headed and provide a fair outcome. Anyone could do it, and that is why being a 'crat shouldn't be a big deal. Some wikis even go so far as to trust all admins with 'crat rights, since one could cause far more damage with admin anyways. They're just rights, they shouldn't have editorial status to go with them.
