In my case, I believe I did show responsibility in working with Imamadmad before applying. But what if I had done other things that were irresponsible?

Users will not vote support for the admin if the user doesn't have responsibility, especially the bureaucrats, admins, and experienced regular users here. A user can always be demoted instantly if the user breaks a very important rule as being an admin, or with a general consensus with the community (as we have done a few times in the past).

Respect - both for other users and for the Ways of the Wiki. Similar to the above. Does the user take time to get to know how things are done, or do they consider their ambitions more important than the ways of the community? This should be settled easily when users, especially the more mature ones vote. Users will only be promoted when the user has temwork and respect, one of the most important parts of being an admin, I agree. Users can still be demoted with part of a group consensus (as stated before) if problems continue being caused. I've tried lowering the difficulty a little bit in promoting because this new method makes making new admins impossible...

As far as having a separate nomination and voting process, I think it's ok too, but the nomination process should be simplified and it seems this is being discussed. I respect your opinion Cat :D. And it is being discussed :)
