We need admins. Me and Pistach are the only ones since Vick is leaving, and Pistach is on hiatus, so it would probably be best to lower the qualifications. If this passes, the application process will only take two months for a non-staff user and not three.

Basically, I want to remove the Mini Admin position, but add a completely different one in its place: Global Moderator. To apply for global mod, the qualifications would be basically the same as the other mod requirements (maybe slightly higher) but you wouldn't need to be a mod already to apply like you do with Mini-Admin. Also, an admin position would not require you apply for global mod first.

The global moderator position would be given discussion mod, chat mod, and content mod permissions. So they basically help moderate all areas of the site without dealing with admin stuff like blocking and promoting/demoting, etc.

A mini-admin is basically just a stepping stone to bureaucrat. They have the exact same permissions right now except that admins can promote and demote people. So what I propose for our current mini admins is they can a) stay mini admins as an exception. (a pain for me to do though) b) demote to global moderator. c) promote to fully-fledged admin immediately (the best option because we need more admins)

This would be their decision. I only have a couple weeks before end-of-year exams and it's really difficult to run a site and Discord server with no other active admins while also studying, going to school, and actually going out. I have a life too. So although the mods and Discord helpers are doing an excellent job, a bit of extra help would be pretty great.

TLDR remove mini admin, add global mod instead (which is totally different), make it a 2 month process for a regular user to get to admin instead of 3, and the current mini admins get to decide if they go to admin, become global mod or stay as an exception.
