I don't understand why players can skip the moderator part. Even if you have been Staff before, for some reason you're not anymore. Whether you were demoted or you left, I believe you should go through the normal proceeding. Everytime a player goes directly for admin there's always a "Jordz said it was ok", pretty sure that's why everyone asks directly.
Nothing personal, you seem like a nice guy, but if you don't give importance to the Player->Moderator->Admin just feels like you want the power and not to help.
In any case, I wish you good luck!
