Generally speaking, it's not a good idea using a variable for administration. You're better off using a list and checking it upon mob/Login() or cliet/New().

Take a look at the reference and guide to learn more about lists. What's more, permanent moderators shouldn't be able to have their verbs removed at runtime. That means you're saving that information into a savefile. Which is a bad idea. A simple savefile editor could give any malicious person administration in your game. And that's a no, no.

If the guy is being a twit, fire him, simple as that. Only temporary moderation (which isn't saved) should be able to be given and removed at runtime.
