I don't think admins/bureaucrats will look into his/her profile more if s/he asks for ranks. I definitely look into the profile first before ever promoting anyone. Why would you not? The only way to tell if a user would become a good admin is by how the profile looks and how the user behaves, right?

Wildoneshelper wrote: Admins and bureaucrats may ignore you. 2/3 votes from bureaucrats sounds ridiculous to me too. It is like the bureaucrats have the say of who should be admin or not. The number of bureaucrats here is very minimal. Sounds like if there are 2 neutral votes from bureaucrats and there are a lot of admins and users supporting the user, you're done. If that's not the case, Luvdwayulie and RoIento would have been admins ages before! Luvdwayulie and RoIento were sadly only here during the time when there was one bureaucrat. And he was kinda of cowy back then. If they were still active now, they would become admins because I'm pretty guaranteed that you and I would at least support them for administrators! Also, I always also tend to lean towards what other users state (though you may notice that there are blatant exceptions). I usually vote support if many others do. Also, bureaucrats also won't ignore promotion threads. But I state this tiny proposal. What do you think?
 * A 75% support vote from the users in time will make the user an admin. Admins and bureaucrats count as 2 votes, while others count as 1.  What do you think of this?  Or should admins and bureaucrats count as 1 also?  So just...75 percent support?  Should this number go up?  This percentage stuff can wait until later.  It's still in draft mode with your proposal.  What I write above is just a gist of how I want the promotion system to be.  And how are we deciding which system we will use?

Therefore, I think nominating themselves is an important thing to me. Then me and many admins now will not become admins. If we do a staff reboot and nominate people again, many of the current staff, including will get wiped out - just a thought. And we are pretty strong as we are now. Well, maybe some stronger than others, but you know what I mean. And, more power-hungry users will get the supports to become admins and will become inactive in a matter of days. We will also get many people always applying to get the higher ranks. This is a problem that self-nomination wikis have created. This method is a way to prove to users that you have to work to gain your rights, not ask.
