Administrator

From OLSEncyclopedia

Administrators are the people in charge of a message board, or much more commonly, an entire web site. Usually one or more administrators has direct access to the files on the server and the database, and if they're so inclined can tweak away at the message board's code to their heart's content. They can even accidentally write an SQL query that selects every record from a table times the number of records in the table, because they forgot one stupid AND condition in their WHERE clause, which grinds the whole SQL server to a halt trying to process that one query. Thankfully, we have SHOW PROCESSLIST and KILL (process id) to deal with that.

(The situation above actually happened due to a PHP script the creator of this page was trying to test on his server, it totally drove the other admin nuts until he just went and killed the SQL process. Then to be a bitch I ran the script again.)

Just like moderators, unfortunately, many administrators have a power trip. The wrath of administrators with power trips are harder to avoid than the wraths of moderators with power trips, for the sole reason that administrators are burdened with more responsibilities. When you detect a disgruntled administrator, it might be best to steer clear of that website for a while.
