Don't get me wrong, you absolutely know how to handle things when presented with a problem, Callie, but most of the things you go out of your way to initiate yourself (such as the song contest, PotM participation, etc.) are all on CPW.

There's nothing wrong with this; I just think it could be useful to have a crat with initiative in place, assuming he approached the other crats with proposals before starting a new policy or making any sort of sitewide change, as any crat should. I don't generally care about the PotM. The general reason I haven't done contests over here is because there aren't many people here in general - let alone enough people willing to participate.

The problem there, Xel, is the fact that there are times when he hasn't done that. If he wants to take initiative, fine. Why does he need crat rights to do so? He doesn't even need crat rights to handle 3 out of the 5 user rights on the wiki.

At the very least, I would recommend he wait until we have more active admins to balance things out. Like you said, some things are not really written. One of the wants was to promote users to certain rights, because I feel that it's not within admins power to promote users. In the past where Skelly and Reaper were the only crats, yes. But nowadays? I feel that it's only for bureaucrats to do that role. The only reason why an admin has these privleges is when a user cannot contact a bureaucrat, or wants to leave the wiki immediately.
