However, a certain user requested bureaucrat status, when they had only recently become a n admin. Everyone was saying yes, and +1ing, but I said no, becuase of how inexperienced the user was. As soon as that user got one "no", they thought I was "bombarding" them, as if I had spite. I had no spite whatsoever. The user was obviously not experienced enough to become a BC, and was a little immature when they got a "no". (No offence to that user).

This shows that the people were blindly voting yes, but I saw it from a different perspective. However, that matter is over, but my point is how quick the users were to say yes rather than stop and think. Sadly that happens, and I've seen quite a few users voted in because of stupidity and retarded users voting....

That's why believe in a users with rights should vote in Bureaucrats... Admins/alreadytherebcrats, should have the communities favor, so their decisions should reflect the communities best interest.

Another good point, is that when you vote, ALWAYS give a reason for your vote, whether it's a + or a - or even a on the fence comment. I tend to like to give at least three sentences with my vote. sometimes I'll even give more.

c: Wait, so you're saying that users with special rights should form a "council" of sorts to investigate and vote in a candidate?

Most definitely, the general populace, OR users with over 200 edits can vote on Rollbacks and Chat Moderators.

Regular users however, CAN NOT vote for admins or for bureaucrats.

Bureaucrats and admins can have to right to nominate a user for rollback or chat moderator if the user doesn't already have rights.

This means that the user being nominated will have to have shown some great skill – enough so to impress some of the admins so that they talk about nominating the user for rights.

Bureaucrats are the only rights group that should be able to nominate admins...

Other admins and bureaucrats should be the only people to vote on new admins and new bureaucrats, after all, the admins that are already there, should have the wiki's best interest in mind.

Investigation...

I believe in a long amount of time before a user can get rights, such as at least 6 to 8 weeks before the user can get rollback. 4 to 6 weeks after that for admin.

That gives more than ample time to investigate a user.
