While I don't care all that much since I'm hardly involved in this place anymore, I am interested in this place's politics so I just thought I'd add a few thoughts.

I'm kind of entirely against this decision. Not so much because it was Scraw or Meat (though I wouldn't say their track record as staff a year ago was all that inspiring) but moreso how the decision was kind of made.

There's no denying that you do have a bit of a bias towards Scraw and Meat, Dwas, but I did the same thing when I was admin because it prevents conflict by choosing people who are going to help you out. Unfortunately I remember you telling me that the days of "wiki politics" were over and that you wanted to introduce democracy to this place and I commend you for your efforts. That being said, I would infer by this decision that you made that you're repealling the democracy you once brought by giving both Meat and Scraw and free pass into a staff position while 4 months ago you made everybody else undergo a vote.

This being said and considering mostly everybody's opinion on the matter I think they should be demoted until a vote can be done for the sake of democracy. I appreciate all of the work that you do for this place Dwas, I really do, and I don't want your reputation to be ruined based on two partially biased promotions. As for both Meat and Scraw, I love the both of them dearly but really I think this should be left to democracy.
