You should make a day or two where admins completely slack off. They disable all pms and have no one contact them. No events, auctions, freebies.
No one to approve customs, gang pictures, to remove lag abusers, or jail harassers. Just have a day with no admin contact response or help.
At the end of the time period snk could send out a message saying, "So do you realize how much we do now?"
This would show all the rioters that admins do something. That they don't just sit in the event house staring at event coins.
