and to anyone who even THINKS about complaining about these promotions:
Did you ever consider the fact that those who are "more deserving" didn't apply? Did you ever consider that these people have been mod for 5 minutes and you can't judge whether or not they're not deserving. This is the kind of negative attitude that made me go inactive for 2 weeks due to certain people being so negative.
Instead of saying they don't deserve it, how about some words of encouragement so they do a good job? So done with people who are constantly whinging when these people have offered their FREE TIME to help the site.
Congratulations on the promotions! Rest in peace to all my dearest friends who were considered collateral in this thread's unfortunate logistic composition
