Alright, that was a lot. Here are my lil opinions:

I am not a fan of having requirements for promotions. Why? Because it often implies that, "If I meet all these things, I'll be an admin!" and I don't think that's how we should go along. There are literally wikis out there that operate on the basis of "you must be here for _____ amount of time, and have ____ edits, and _____" and, once a user meets those criteria, they are instantly promoted. This, imo, is bad. It seems to quite often lead to tons of admins (which is not a good thing) and often, they're not good. There are a number of users who go around to various communities just to get rights. They want to have "power" and that's about it. XD

And just want to point out that I'm including demotions in all of these points.
