I do agree that they should be taken away, but there is are major downsides to this. Eventually, what if you run out of users? This is a very sleepy wiki; there are not a lot of users who edit on here. Let's say that after all the good people are done with nominations (such as Goddy for admin, and Megafan for RCaDC [ no more chat mod apps because the chat is sleepy and no more crat apps because we do not need 4 crats and 3 admins ]), then what will happen? Megafan for admin? Or just postpone it for another three months? Or are we just going to nominate inactive users? Then a user that is exactly like Skelly comes around, and the administration is all stoked about him being a rollback, but he has to wait another three months in order to get nominated. Rather than making an application.

Another thing is that it will be a pain in the ass to find good users. It's a small wiki to begin with, and the majority of the users are not those competent editors like me and you. Like I said, will we just nominate inactive users? Or will we postpone it? Or will we nominate users like Lalalei, but the only thing that they do is add the deletnow template, or give critique on articles. Then a great editor comes out, gets 400 edits within the week, recognized by administration, and is a good candidate for rollback. But he has to wait another three months, because voting has been postponed

To me, it's more easier to make an app, so that no waiting hassles can happen. You can remove the time periods, and the prerequsites that you have to have this right before you apply, then make a thread saying that notices the apps, states you have all the time in the world, states you don't have to be scared, and the other reason you said to me in CPW chat last night. We wouldn't be sitting there promoting every user. The time periods still go as needed. If we need an admin, we gain an admin, if we need an RCaDC, we gain an RCaDC. If we don't, then we don't.
