However, I'm also going to point out this reminds me a lot of a forum boogs made (the only major difference being that he was also adding a new position) that got shot down pretty quick. Admittedly, when I was making this suggestion, I recalled Boog's thing pretty quickly. The difference is that this thing isn't a complete system overhaul, just two tweaks that don't even make a big deal, since most people move up the staff like "Rollback, Content Mod, Mini-Admin" or "Chat Mod, Discussion Mod, Mini-Admin".

And even then, the people who didn't move up that way probably won't be affected, since there probably isn't going to be check on all the staff members to see if they didn't move up the usual way. That'd be complicated and take too long, and would be unfair to those who didn't abide by a rule which didn't exist at the time they applied. My only worry for this system is the fact that some people don't move up. I remember looking @ the staff list just the other day and thinking to myself, "Jesus, some of these people have been in this position for ages". I feel because some people don't really want to move up the chain of command, there's a possiblity that one position will get clogged for a period of time and prevent people from moving up into other, empty positions because they're no allowed to.

I have to agree with you on that worry. It's probable that one of the main reasons Boog's thing was opposed to hell and back was due to the fact that the rollback and chat mod positions were clogged, but the discussion mod and content mod positions were mostly empty. Restricting the ability to make it up to the empty positions (so that chat mod and rollback wouldn't get clogged) would've effectively made it nearly impossible to move up.

I think the only position that's "clogged" is Discussion Mods. I can't really say that Chat Mods are clogged since Osen's probably gonna make it up to Mini-Admin based on the current rate of supports.
