another reason why admins should not be normal user accounts.

That would be a decent idea too actually. That way the official operations and personal content would be split.

I've thought about doing that in the past, and maybe I'll do that, but a big part of the reason people migrated here originally was the articles that I wrote under the name magnora7, so I didn't want to discontinue that name as a normal user. But now that's not as big a draw so maybe it'd be smart to split the two

I figured that the admin account would have the alternate username, not the personal one

Yes that's not a bad idea, but I still have to explain to everyone that that alternate username is run by the same person as the magnora7 account, and then if they know both are admins I almost don't see the point of splitting them in the first place, you know what I mean?

Some people might want to block an admin because they don't like their content.

Yeah I see, fair point
