Currently looking at the current requirements for these positions, I feel that we need to relook at the requirements.Every so often these kinds of things get outdated, and it is our duty to stay on top of things. I've known some of the many great users around me for quite a long time. I personally have been on the wiki for over 2 years now, and one thing that I would like to point out is that I don't even meet the requirements to run for such a position. After 2 years of hard work and dedication to the community, one would think that they would have had the opportunity to build up the reputation and trust of everyone else. But sadly as it stands right now, the requirements say otherwise.

What I propose is that we remove the mainspace edit requirement for Admin and B-crat, or at least heavily reduce them. Instead, I feel that we should be able to evaluate such things based on the time that they have spent in already set out staff positions. If we still feel the need for some form of mainspace requirement, then we can continue to do so, however I do not feel that this should be the main focus.

For Administrator I was thinking that you must have been either a chat/forum/content moderator for at least 6 months, with B-crat requiring you to have been an administrator for at least 8 months.

Through this solution I feel that we can have users promoted that have actually done their job, done it well, and been in such positions long enough to be trusted with the next step up.

I'd like to hear about what you all think. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
