Well, there area a couple things to keep in mind here.
While I don't know about Morlock's skills (aside from his sween nunchuk skills, computer hacking skills... LOL), I believe that Lin & Adam bear a large part of the Admin load (No disrespect, Morlock... it's just my take, based on what I know). Now, what to keep in mind about those two people is important... Adam started Bartertown as a college project, as I understand it, and that dang thing just snowballed. I'd imagine he'll tell you that he never expected it to get this big or last this long. His main contributions to the site are behind the scenes. He's the computer geek behind the curtain...
"Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!!!"
LOL No. I'm not saying to ignore him... but pretend he doesn't exist. Everything needs to go through Lin. Adam doesn't get to spend much time (busy life) messing with BTown and, as I understand it, that time is spent coding and working on updates to the infrastructure, basically.
Which, of course, leads to the next problem. Since moving to Where-the-heck-did-I-get-myself-shipped-off-to-ville, Lin's Internet connection has been occasional, at best. He just doesn't have the ability to get around much lately. Some have speculated that the recent spat of Earthquakes are actually the reverberating effects of his withdrawal convulsions.
This leaves Morlock.
Most people don't typically think of going to him with issues as, in the past, Lin has been the one to take the reins.
If you're having issues and need to speak to an admin about resolution, you need to speak with him. If it's not something he knows about, I'd imagine he could get your answer.
Keep in mind, folks, that reversing negative ref's is not high on the priority list. It will get done, but it WILL take time.

I feel your pain!

I had someone my ref's spammed by a retaliatory Neg about 5 or 6 times, as I recall (Look up Adam Swank if you care why he did it). It was well over 6 months before they finally got fixed.
It WILL happen for you... eventually.

WTF?
See, first I smiled, because I thought you were trying to flatter me... When I saw the "but" there, I started to expect a playful "zinger."
This, though:
i personally think he should be an admin myself
Are you on drugs?
Maybe you're trying to drive me frigging crazy?
WTF is your problem?
What did I ever do to you?
LOL
Seriously, though... Though I think you might mean "Moderator," I disagree. I don't think I have the temperment for it. I say what I think too much, and that leads to.. err... disagreements too often. Plus, as I understand it, all of the Mod (and higher) staff have a certain degree of computer-fu... to a degree that I lack.
I appreciate the sentiment, but respectfully disagree. Being a Watchman is ALMOST the limit of responsibility I can (want to?) handle right now.
Not to mention the added hassle of all you "regular" people beating down my door every time there's a problem.
