I don't think everyone who says those things doesn't appreciate the work the admins put in - but they are seeing the glass half empty in that they'd rather see something not done until it can be done 100% properly rather than settling for an "inferior" event just because someone without the proper time to commit is available or whatever. Of course what constitutes doing the event or whatever it is properly is up for debate, but thoroughly discussing it could possibly avoid a lot of the negativity where changing ideas last-minute is concerned, which could make the public feel like decisions are changed willy-nilly regardless of behind-the-scenes planning and collaboration.
Basically, if you think through the format properly in the first place and give everyone a chance to air their concerns (whether they come across as negative or not) and don't flippantly change decisions where there's still a large amount of uncertainty these kinds of things could avoid getting personal. If your admins have to work let people know and have some for of mitigation because people are going to ask "why did you bother?" when an event is run less than ideally because it was rushed.
