I voted you into SA last time so you will do that for me this time righto? (if I come back and you are a SA)
WelcomingComic < BossComic
Jokes aside and serious face on. Bosscomic did a great job back in his day and I have no reason to believe he wouldn't do that this time as well. You shouldn't check the clock to see when people are ready rather their devotion, maturity, and capabilities as a staff member.
Ammount of people on rank X should never be the reason for denial. If there are too many in your opinion raise the standards you have and get rid of the ones that do not fit the standard and are incapable of meeting the new standards, but do give them solid point to improve themselves on.
How many typos can one make on a single post? I will probbaly be still editing them out this time tomorrow
