Yes, because they aren't here as much, they are considered neutral. If an admin here more often to given his/her opinion, over time, those opinion will lose their neutrality, since there is always someone willing to argue on this wiki. I'll reiterate, or rather, modify my previous statement: It is a pipe dream for a sysop/admin/crat who is here a lot to give his opinion, and is universally regarded by everyone to be unbiased. If someone is unbiased, like Dantman and UltimateSupreme, they're not here as much. If you give the Bureaucrat flag to someone who is here a lot to give opinions, their decisions will always be questioned, disagreed with, and considered biased. If you want more unbiased users like UltimateSupreme, you're going to face the same issue you have with Dantman: they won't be here as much. The thing is, UltimateSupreme is here on a daily basis, but he doesn't spend his time editing mainspace articles or getting into edit wars on talkpages. He is always reachable through his talkpage and ofc, the Sysop Requests page (which is really just being used by Snapper2 the vast majority of the time), so it's unreasonable to claim he isn't always here. All I meant was that, because UltimateSupreme doesn't get involved in every discussion here, it gives him some neutrality to say "Hey, you should really calm this down a bit and lower the amount of personal attacks against others".

My point was, just because someone doesn't edit mainspace/talkpage articles every day and get themselves into every argument under the sun, doesn't then mean they're not around as much: they can still be around regularly, but just not get involved in that stuff. I know Dantman hasn't logged into Wikia since late-June, whereas a majority of sysops logged in quite recently.
