It seems I've gotten a bit ahead of myself. Thank you my fellow staff for being critical of me as that is just the reality check one needs every so often.

I would prefer this is not interpreted as a statement in my defence, as I clearly acted without taking the appropriate measures that should precede any promotion, those being discussion and unanimous agreement on behalf of the staff. However, I do believe it is best that I explain why I did what I did. No, it was not the best way to go about the situation.

It can be difficult for me to be as engaging with the community as much as I used to be due to generally less time and more pressure to get stuff done faster. It's true that we all age as so-called Wikians, and you break into routine that can 'dull' you receptiveness after a while. Receiving long threads, let alone answering them to the necessary level of detail that they require does not occur so often and is a more demanding task. To put this into context, I actually wrote my previous reply over two days, shifting from my phone to my PC in between, among other tasks which I was investing a lot more attention towards. I tend to address issues quickly and directly (and perhaps less thoughtfully) when they aren't of primary focus, and I was certainly too direct here, making the promotion based on my own assessment triggered by a few recommendations.

Even now, promoting more staff is obviously a point of discussion if it is likely able to reduce misconduct in the chat. As primetime has explained. determining a schedule is worthwhile as it will help us identify at what times staff are absent.

On the matter of the inclusion of content moderator rights, I bundled these rights with the promotion since deleting unnecessary articles and files is not a difficult task for others to do and is a good way to help out, and truly, a lot less complicated than being able to address manipulative chat aggravators. A proper briefing of how content moderator rights work is overdue, I admit, although reading from ListGroupRights, it's not too complicated, and one shouldn't need to use these these abilities too often.
 * Change protection levels and edit protected pages (protect)
 * Delete pages (delete)
 * Have one's own edits automatically marked as patrolled (autopatrol)
 * Mark others' edits as patrolled (patrol)
 * Move files (movefile)
 * Not be affected by rate limits (noratelimit)
 * Not create redirects from source pages when moving pages (suppressredirect)
 * Overwrite existing files (reupload)
 * Quickly rollback the edits of the last user who edited a particular page (rollback)
 * Undelete a page (undelete)
 * View deleted text and changes between deleted revisions (deletedtext)
 * Remove group from own account: Content Moderators

And, no bot then.

I really do hope we can engage in discussions like this more often. Yes, Nusdan, I maintain my stance on communication being paramount. Good to see you again, mate.
