Honestly, we have more than enough Admins and Mods as it is. If we give more promotions at the rate we have been recently, the whole thing will lose its meaning. If these positions were more scarce, it would give more power to those who have it and make those who don't strive more to get it. If friends of existing Admins and Mods are the only ones to recieve said promotions, it also breaks the system and I believe I've seen instinces recently where those who don't exactly deserve the title of Chat Mod have gotten it.

Long story short, promotions should be the last thing on our minds. What needs our attention is how to improve the site so users have a more enjoyable time on it. One of which could be narrowing down the number of users with Gold Stars next to their name. But that's solely my opinion.
