How does someone join the admin panel?
Is it to do with reputation points as I've come across members who weren't part of the admin group before, but are now?
Thanks....and I'm asking because I'm a naturally curious person.

First, I would let the staff know that you are interested and then you'll have to wait until there is a need. (someone dies or Heidita reaches her 18th birthday, whichever comes first). If you want a recommendation, come up with something useful that you can do for the site (volunteer to do the lessons transcriptions that members have asked for, for example). Maybe they will create a position for you if they think you have something useful to contribute.
2nd Have a nicer personality than mine. (stay out of the Dunce Corner)
3rd Be willing to kneel and kiss the ring of the Queen of this site (and if you don't know who Her Majesty is, then you have no business appying for the position.) And beware of lightening bolts from out of the blue. (Eddy had to marry her to keep his postion as an administrator).
It has nothing to do with reputation points, beyond the fact that they reflect a willingness to participate on the forum and a modicum of common sense. You can't give the axe to everyone who asks a silly question.
Be forewarned: The hours are long and it's all volunteer work.
P.S. I'm not a administrator and probably never going to be asked to be one!
Bottom line: it's by invitation only. You can't earn the position by meeting any set requirements.

It has been rumored that you are going to be asked to be the administrator in charge of the site's complaint department.
This is a position of both fun and prestige! 
well... is not that bad as Q said all u hav 2 do is 2 tak me as an e.g (i use corect gramar & spelling all el tiampo )use corect gramar n spelling & u'll b an admin in no time 
adies , by bye !
I wish you had informed me of this earlier Q ,It would have saved me a lot of hard
work and heartache. I have kissed the Queens ring so many times that I now
have a"permanent ring of confidence" I have genuflected to that Royal
person so often that I now suffer hip displaysia, having to swallow my pride daily
has caused proud flesh to hang from my neck. But worst of all is having to play
second and third fiddle in an all male orchestra of unknown quantity and
Dubious quality . Let it be known forthwith that if there was ever a slim chance
of my being considered for office then I shall decline on mental grounds.
I did hear a rumor that you might be asked to be the Welcome Administrator. That would certainly be a fun and interesting position. You do it so well

Thank God.
I want to be part of the admin crew,
With tea, with scones, at Spanishdict HQ,
Correcting mistakes, without no breaks,
With ma pals: Heidita, Marianne and Eddy.
Oh yeah I've just remembered another solution you may do the following :-
-Support Heidi on a football match and for your luck Spain wins 11-0 = consider yourself an admin (Which is impossible .. sorry Heidi
)
- Support another team and Spain loses = consider yourself panned !

I'd vote for you in a "Texas minute" (which I take to be about 3.14159265 times longer than a "New York minute". - samdie 1 hr ago flag
Very true and extremely funny Samdie. I must say, I do enjoy an occasional "visit" to the south. However, I am more acclimated to the rude, snarkey , but rapid Northeast.
