Adding and removing admins on a Rust server can play a role in maintaining a safe and enjoyable gameplay experience for all players. Admins can monitor and enforce the server's rules, respond to player complaints, and prevent or stop disruptive behavior. On the other hand, removing admins who abuse their power or fail to fulfill their responsibilities is equally essential to ensure a fair and safe gameplay experience.
Note: There are two different admin roles, ownerid and moderatorid. OwnerID allows the person with this role to add and delete admins, while moderatorID does not.
