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. not sure if you were referring to me but to be harshly honest i dont care about promotions, nor did i expect to win/ get promoted (kinda like trump... not qualified, but thats another debate). I just asked for a promo because it would be hilarious if i actually got one. Believe me, i am surprised i got one. I did ask if content mods get a colorful tag, but it was just as a joke. Ofc i understand that as this is written word it is hard to express these types of emotions/intentions, for that i apologize for being childish if it was interpreted in any other way but as a joke. But to be completely clear i dont give two sh*ts about a promotion because frankly i know i dont deserve one anyways. But of course since i did get one, i am thankful for it and obviously will push to make the most of it

With my own perspective explained, I agree with You Haz. these tags are seizure inducing and psychedelic. Professionalism is important to any website.
