- Sysop user rights are exactly that: User rights. They're not an achievement or an award for great editing, but rather tools that help in editing. Recognition for their contributions should be encouraged. Supergeeky1 05:42, 5 April 2012 (EDT)

- Admins are admins. Isn't that a good enough achievement? Now lets leave it at that. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 05:37, 5 April 2012 (EDT)
