Semi-admin privileges would be an ideal way of dealing with problem players.
If you gave a few of us these, after getting to know us well enough to trust that we won't use it for our own benefit, then we might be able to take care of the day-to-day whining and complaining. Actions upon one's own character would be disabled, of course. We'd ideally be able to do stuff like create monsters and items for contests, penalize problem players, silence players for x minutes, kick people out of the game, resurrect dead people and restore EXP (for tournaments or duels), and reimburse people who were cheated out of things (like in recent killings, for example.)
On the other hand, perhaps strict rules would have to be placed for the semi-admins, such as only allowing extreme cases to be reimbursed so that people wouldn't get careless or come crying for "mommy" every time someone threw a rock at him.
Heck, I seem to have a few hours a day to spare lately, so I'll do it. (Be an admin, not code it) I'd take matters into my own hands as a character but if I ever hit level 50, there's no way I could subdue someone as powerful as Angus if perchance he got some bloodlust and decided it would be fun to kill everyone. I think he would never do that, but someday we might have a L50 who would.

Sounds like a great idea to me!

Re: Semi-admin privileges
Good idea to spread the admin load.
Perhaps the semi-admin could be allowed to do some
real-estate clear-out
Save as many people having houses full of keys
Anyway, Berendol can have a vote from me too

Re: Semi-admin privileges
I vote nay.
I'd prefer to leave decisions about penalties and reimbursements to Crimson.
Although if you have so much spare time, it would be nice if you coded some ignore features available to all players.
Perhaps an ability to ignore players greater than or less than a certain level, or to specify players and have their messages always be green (so you can have many conversations or languages.)

Re: Semi-admin privileges
I agree with Ashi...don't make anyone else pseudo admins. The ONLY thing I could see is allowing one or two people have the ability to reboot the server when inscriptions break or something along that nature, but ONLY if it's something along those lines.
When the winds of change blow hard enough, the most trivial of things can turn into deadly projectiles.
