How about creating a Button that sysops can use to promote other sysops? I'm getting tired of writing and checking SQL queries. Also, I don't want to become a gatekeeper :-(
We could (maybe?) hash out some rules, like:
1. Must be nominated and seconded (i.e., takes N votes where N >= 2? or N >= 3?). 2. Can't nominate or second anyone till you've been a sysop for N days (N > 30 days? N > 90 days? N > 12 months?)
Note: I don't particularly care one way or another, and I'm not trying to start a debate. I'm just trying to find a way to avoid work! ^_^

Sounds good. Would people still request sysop status in the same way?

Both sound like sensible rules. I see the sense in excluding very new sysops from voting (and that would of course include me at this point).

Who are *very* much appreciated :)

I know I should already know this, but what is the current process for actually making someone a sysop (not determining if they should be a sysop). Isn't the current system of determining who should be a sysop working? Why does it need to be automated? "Poor, Edmund W" Edmund.W.Poor@abc.com wrote: sannse wrote:
