Other networks have policies that encourage people to not have operator status until needed. Usually, a bot is the only one to have op status. IMO this is useful - it does reduce the "us vs. them" partitioning by at least one magnitude. Also, any action that does become necessary can be performed more stealthily (per hit-and-run, maybe even through the bot). It does not solve the problem of who should have ops, but it could be a move into the right direction (that anyone who has ops should have a good reason for it). My 2c, Michael -- Psssst!
