Asking for ranks will not lower your chances. You won't get promoted instantly, but the admin/bureaucrat will look into your profile more. In my opinion, your proposal seems to focus more on your relationship with bureaucrats and administrators instead of your commitment as an administrator. I don't think admins/bureaucrats will look into his/her profile more if s/he asks for ranks. Admins and bureaucrats may ignore you. If that's not the case, Luvdwayulie and RoIento would have been admins ages before!

For me, to show that a person has the responsibility, I think the person has to be actively willing to be an administrator. Waiting for ranks means that the person is not ready. Therefore, I think nominating themselves is an important thing to me.
