They obviously have to earn the tools, prove themselves capable of running the wikia is a non-abusive way. So it is a big responsibility. When I said a bunch I meant 3-4 (capable) at least so they can discuss when one has gone a bit too far in using their sysop power. And if they go too far and continuously ignore the warnings of other sysops, we have you handle the situation.

Right. Unfortunately while we're close to that number, there's a lack of good candidates. Just about anyone we promote now would likely only be as capable as the least capable of our current sysops.
