The Admins are there to fend off rulebreakers and minges. We also warn those who do things such as flaming, questioning admins and being a nuiscance to others on the forums. We give out warnings to those who spam threads and flame others (forum administrating is also the job of a Moderator, i.e. me).
Here's a message I recieved after I warned someone because they decided to post a big thread on how Nudel should be demoted - when he could have just talked to Soul (or indeed, Nudel - but not every single person):
(As a fact, the warning was one point - and it only lasts for no more than day)
I'll point out part of it:
"And then there's the admins, who go out of their way to make the game miserable for you."
Now Lazers, why don't you try being an admin for a day? Why don't you all try being an admin for a day?
"They all think that they're so much better than us mortal players."
We do not.
Admins are mortal as well. Everyone seems to think that an admin is a robot who makes the correct decision every time, and has pixel-perfect judgement.
We are not robots.
Nor are admins telepathic. We can't look at a million clones and instantly point out the original standing somewhere in the crowd. We can't pick out a rulebreaker if we don't have enough proof.
If an admin makes a mistake, talk to them. If they ban someone due to false claims or misunderstandings, post an un-ban request. Don't freak out and say that the admin should be demoted. Admins have their reasons.
The worst thing is, when an admin makes a bad decision, everybody makes a big deal. As I mentioned before, we are not robots. We are not gods either. We are regular human beings like all of you are. We, the admins, have a life outside gaming altogether.
If you're going to send me hate-mail because I made a bad decision, don't.
Being an admin is harder than you think. Much harder.

I liked fearless RP, its fun, it has a great community. And then there's the admins, who go out of their way to make the game miserable for you.
