It can be done. A huge success story is a site i am a part of, Acctrade.org. As a community we've done that without FTP access for about 2 years, and until last month hadn't called our actual admins. <br><br>An ideal setup is two main admins 3 Super moderaters (like status wise) and 4 moderators (drupal wiki and IRC)<br><br>MAdmin MAdmin<br><br>Smod Smod Smod<br><br>Mod Mod Mod Mod<br><br><br>That way if one has to go away, someone can move up the ladder.
