I never agreed that spontaneous promotion was what we should succumb to. I believe I set that straight a while ago. It's just if we set too many prerequisites, even if they are easy to hit, it looks as if there is too much work as an administrator to do. If you refer to my other response, I clarify this. Why I say that admins look like kings: now admins just have to qualify prerequisites that others don't. This shouldn't be what it had to be; it shouldn't be how a user gets admin rights.

I also promoted Rose because he...right now...is pretty much one of the more active ones directly on when I'm not, which made it an easy decision for me. It may have been rash, but might as well. He earned the community's trust by now, and many saw it coming.

Directly promoting someone is not what I want either. The community's gotta have a say. You're probably thinking, "WTF?! Beta test admins?" If we had somewhere we could chat where no one is reading everything we converse with each other, I would explain how this goes. I don't want to spill anything about the beta test into the open.
