What admins can't do

Administrators can not:

• Tell the users what to do and force them to do it.
• Make a big decision without consulting the community first.
• Get away with vandalism, spam or personal attacking other users.

Breaking these rules

If you notice an admin breaking any of these rules, firstly tell the admin that they are breaking these rules. If they continue to break these rules or any other rule on the wiki, a bureaucrat should take care of them.
