So what if you have all the requirements. We don't need tons of Admins. We don't need more Bureaucrats either. You should be thankful for all the promotions that have happened recently, because in all honesty nobody cares if you think you're all this with 4,000 or so edits. It's the quality of the edits that deserve promotions, no quantity. I became an Admin because the wiki needed active members. I was active then, and took time to contribute to the wiki in the best way possible of giving it quality. All I see now are children quarrelling over colourful name tags "Oh look at me, I'm a Content Mod and I have a cool tag". If I am to be completely honest here, I would not have given you all as many promotions here. Quite frankly we don't need a 'Head of Mods' and 'Head of Staff' position because they aren't important. No offence to Mercenary and Angangang, they have done brilliant work on here and so have many of you over the years. I'm just disappointed in the way this has gone, and how the forum now has become this complete mess of colourful tags. If I was bureaucrat I would have given the colourful tags to Admin+, might have made the forum pages a little more professional compared to the likes of colourful text from Minecraft, but that opportunity has gone to the grave. Think of the promotions as jobs, you have to be the best candidates to be selected for that job. There shouldn't be as many moderators on this wiki, sure there are Discussion Moderators, Content Moderators and Chat Moderators but you shouldn't have everyone being all three at once. That's as bad as nepotism, seriously it's that messed up. Now I will talk honestly to you LordHazanator. A few days ago, you came back here after nearly a year of inactivity. And then you saw you weren't admin anymore, and what did you do? You posted a message on the wall of all the other admins to know if you could get your rank back. Until there I'm fine with you. But the part where I do not agree, is that now you think you are the master, you even criticise Bane behind his back, while he is theorically your superior, since he is the founder of the wiki, and he has been active for more time than you. And at the same time, you criticise those who asked for a promotion where they worked for (I mainly think about Angangang and IMercenary), and even if that is a rank lower than yours. See: you got your admin rank very easily (just posting messages on the walls of multiple admins, while you don't meet the requirement for being admin, and you blame people like Angangang and IMercenary for asking a promotion that was proposed by someone else (they are part of the promotion day), while you asked for your promotion. I think it is too easy for you to criticise people with lower ranks while you are at your position of admin. I am not looking for a fight with you, but I would ask you to le Darkangel12s, Bane64 and Tr143 to arrange promotion issues, since they are th TRUE leaders of this wiki.
