 * 1) Implement the emotes from my blog.
 * 2) Reduce the number of CMs. Eliminate the inactive ones, basically. We have too many of 'em. Plus, fewer CMs would make the active ones more willing to go on chat and moderate, as they don't go around thinking "There are so many CMs that there must be a few already on chat".
 * 3) Promote Obi to buro.  Seriously, why you don't do it already, is a complete mistery.
 * 4) Get more admins. With only Rio and Obi who are active, we desperately need more in case of a crisis.

Should be it. 1. Yesh. :P

2. I'm inclined to agree here.

3. I would argue we shouldn't do it yet... after all, once you have buro, you can't lose it. It's a big deal. I think Drew and BCG are fine for now...

4. Yes, They've chosen their new ones, but Drew's too lazy to click a few buttons, apparently. :P 1. Nuuuuuuuuuuuuu. 2. Why? I see no point in the demotion of inactive CMs, and as far as gittin' more inactive for CMs to come on. I'm pretty such we all come on when we can, although a couple more CMs would be nice as chat has had 15-ish people and no CMs, but the problems is who?

3. I think Obi is fine as Admin, but I would be in no way apposed to his promotion to Buro.

4. @Ire, IKR, Admins seem so procrastinative...

We don't need any more buros...not that I don't trust Obi, but I am very hesitant to promote any buros. They permanently become the most powerful users on the wiki. Can't be taken lightly. Besides, Obi's been an admin for less than one year... Drew and BCG have been here a long time. I'm not going to defend myself for bureaucrat, but I'd like to note a couple things:
 * 1) Yeeeeeeeeeeeees.
 * 2) EVEN MORE CMs?! You kidding, the chances of having 15 people on and no CMs on is low.
 * 3) We need more Buros anyway.
 * 4) AND I HATE IT.

1) Drew is a dictator when it comes to picking bureaucrats. He'll never listen to the community, he doesn't even listen to the admin team. He and BCG will decide, whenever they feel like it, so don't waste time arguing.

2) Bureaucrat is just a set of tools, and doesn't make people "more powerful", unless they abuse those tools. It does usually signify seniority, but that should be there with or without bureaucrat, and good admins will recognize it.
