I just want to mention this. Being an administrator shouldn't be about the respect or the prestige it holds. It's a responsibility, an honor to guard the communities we hold so love and dear. To be the role models that set the example for other users to follow, and to improve the community to make it better than it's ever been beforehand. I understand it can be easy to feel a little unappreciated to get no open thanks for all the great work you do, it really does suck. However, that kind of respect shouldn't be an expectation or requirement for doing your job, but instead a bonus that happens to come with the position. If you happen to think you're entitled to respect because of your role as administrator, then I think you might be having the wrong mindset. It's better to instead look for reward in helping the community grow, and cherish the thanks and respect when it comes naturally. I'm sorry you feel underappreciated, and I'm by no means trying to undermine all the good work you do, but I just wanted to list my thoughts on this.
