Eddy, your previous post suggested that you believed that staff were important than the community, which is what I wanted to deemphasize. As long as you know that too. And about mods clogging up one timezone - some of them are on all day, and if that user covers a timezone in which there are no other mods around, I don't see a problem. If a mod misbehaves, an admin can always kick a mod and demote. We need to wait for a misbehavior to happen before demoting mods. The simple fact that the mods were chosen and no dramas has happened yet proves that Hackey did do a good job in promoting (though rather silently).

And for getting all staff to support a promotion, that would be literally impossible due to the fact that everyone has a different opinion. Perhaps an 80% support from the staff and 80% support from the community could get a user promoted?

Also, I actually don't see the point of the two of us getting promoted to bureaucrats at this point. The only problem is if all bureaucrats are inactive - then perhaps you could apply for new ranks. The only difference between a bureaucrat and administrator rank is creating more administrators and rollbacks.
