Slightly OT, I think it makes a lot of sense to clearly tell
prospective admins what *obligations* they are subjecting themselves
to, as well as what special 'powers' they are gaining, by becoming
administrators.

Obligations to:
* Learn relevant policy and keep up with policy changes
* Restrict what they repost on other sites
* Respond to inquiries about their admin actions by other admins?
* Obey a 1RR?
