Surely if neither we very popular then that is a good reason for not having them promoted to staff members :/

I'm confused why that is used as justification as to why the community doesn't get a say in the decision to promote either user. It was established before that we would have a vote on future promotions.

I'd further question why we jumped to Meat and Scraw when neither were nominated for promotion to mod last time, and TK was.
