My Thought on Admin Entities Not Being Removed

The other night I came on the server to work on my ship, and found the server to be in quite a state of distress. The only other person on was Xenophobe, who was on the ice planet building something. I spawned down a ship, and flew into space, and found a huge cloud of bomber E2 drones spawned by Puff an hour earlier, causing quite a bit of entity traffic as they smashed into asteroids and stuff.
That same night, Coupez came on and was working on his somewhat large ship. When he left for whatever reason, he didn't remove his ship, and this caused quite a bit of FPS lag, and entity traffic as more people came on.
This morning, I came on and found that Kanzuke had left quite a bit of stuff around, including his "bunker protection" E2 that kills anyone but admins that go into the bunker on Gonniverse. It wasn't causing any unnecessary traffic, but the idea of someone claiming a piece of the spawn planet (which is already against the rules from what I've read) for themselves and just leaving their "protection" there really bothers me.
I'm not targeting anyone in particular, but I would like to see the admins take better care of their garbage that they leave behind. It's not normally much of a problem, but with server 2 down and the increased amount of players, when an admin leaves their massive ship behind, the lag is quite noticeable.
This is probably not the first time this problem has been brought up, but I would like to suggest a few possible solutions:
Admins should be more careful about leaving stuff behind.
Remove admin entities from the cleaning blacklist.
Allow players to vote for offline admin entities to be removed.
I know you admins like being the "gods" of the server, but please, don't ruin the playing experience for other players.

And Kanzuke, as I tell anyone else who does this: active area denial systems on the spawn, especially ones that kill intruders, are highly frowned upon. If you want absolute privacy as an admin, just godmode and go to space.
