I can't recall if I asked this question; if I have let me know and ignore it. But, it has come up again. I should inform everyone that the information I have to give is a little different than most boards.
I have been the board admin for our board which is for doctors for seven years and have not missed a day either posting or overseeing the board. We are talking EVERY DAY. I am the admin, obviously, but I am not the only admin as I have no access to the server, cpanel, MySQL, etc. So, there is a host admin (who I don't much like -- and also isn't very good at his job -- doesn't know when 7.5.8 should be installed, doesn't know how to do it anyway). Anyway, he makes two. Then there are two more admins who are only admins so they can approve registrants/applicants -- my approving them in five minutes to five hours must not have been quick enough. We use Gizmo's SFS (thanks Gizmo) so filter out the spammers anyway. So, now we have four. We used to have five more so support could answer questions until I convinced them they could post without being an admin. Then a management person was made an admin so she could lock global announcements until I told them, I could go back and clean it up.
So after getting rid of those, we are down to four. Then yester day the host admin added a user who is from the company who does IT for the whole company now and made him an admin. The only admin in Newest Users (the first five days) I have seen. Even if he needed to be a user and admin, since I have done this for seven years, the least the host admin could have done was let me know. So now we have five admins which is three too many in my opinion. Normally, it would be one, but as I said, the host admin can't do my job, and I can't do his. Obviously, the more we have, the less security we have.
Although, I like what I do and probably wouldn't do this, I am almost to the point of just stepping down altogether.
Any thoughts?
