@Sebs I understand where you are coming from and I don’t want to start a big argument, but the reason I said what I said is that while the public elections generally resulted in mature users being promoted some users who wren’t ‘in the spotlight’ so much and yet were still incredibly hardworking users were never nominated in said elections whilst the more popular users usually were. For example, Lynda and Simbio contributed a lot throughout their time as Content Mods and did their jobs exceptionally well and yet they wren’t really nominated in any public elections to become Admins or General Moderators despite their hard work even after they had been in their positions for over a year.

The fact that the Promotion Request page now exists means that the more underrated users can now have a chance to apply for staff positions and join the staff team if they desire to and they don’t have to solely rely on other users to nominate them in order to join the staff team which is a fairer system in my opinion.
