Testing Server

This post of yours pretty much exemplifies why although well-intentioned, the testbed server probably shouldn't exist as it currently exists. It's like anything else: If you can't take care of it properly, why create it?

Many server managers just opt on a personal level not to manage properly, in many cases even with ample assistance to do so. That's a personal problem and is not justification for not properly moderating testbed (see the misinformed argument: "Everyone else does it this way so we'll just call it a standard even if it's wrong.")

And I really don't see where your theory of unlimited rights comes from. More folder rights than a person would normally get -- yes, without a doubt. Unlimited rights (whereby classifying everyone as an administrator) -- certainly not. If this is how it is currently being done on testbed, then again, that amounts to being managerial inadequacy (no offense intended of course).
