I understand what you're saying here, but this is certainly not the case in this community. It's also why I pointed out that the community itself can reach a consensus and take it to Wikia staff to effect a change.

If, say, I died tonight, someone could start a thread and get a consensus to give crat rights to another person. I don't personally feel that we, or any wiki, needs to worry so much about "what if the admins suddenly went inactive?" given the info I just presented.
