Hmm I think you should separate the Zeal servers and JJ.net.
The Zeal servers are owned by DZ and he is free to pick admins in whichever way he wants, I can't agree with that system though, almost any skilled player regardless of age is a trustee.
Without clans, there wouldnt be a ladder, so I think it should be well controlled. Preventing abuse of the ladder system doesn't seem to be a regular admin job, so I think recruiting a new one doesn't solve that problem.
Though I doubt the way the jj.net admins were chosen I think that if you have any complains you can better post a thread like this to solve them, instead of bugging admins on messenger or mail.
