Hi Four7s (I almost typed Glaciersong... lol oof)

I noticed the new post about the promotion requirements. I have already closed one due to missing promotion requirements, as shown on the page of the same name (Here). I was wondering about a few suggestions I had that you might be able to implement...

1. Actually linking the blog post to your announcement - This will allow users to find your blog post easily by just clicking on the announcement. Not too important, but gives our users more convenience.

2. Adding a 'tag' to closed promotion applications - This will just allow users, staff members in particular, to know when an application has been closed. Because categories are not allowed on blog posts, I was thinking that if the post is closed, we could add a tag at the front of the post as staff members. Something like [CLOSED] or something to that effect. This will, however, require the admins to do this as I am unable to change names and edit other blog posts. Maybe you can change that??? I don't know...

3. Adding some requirements to the application requirements - It sounds a bit confusing and it is. however, I would like to make sure that people write a bit more than a paragraph about why they should be promoted. Maybe a 2 paragraph minimum?

4. Public Support - This would mean that users in addition to getting staff support would also have to get support from 10 members of the public, through polls. This would be harder to do since not everyone reads everyone else's blog, but this leads into my next idea...

5. Main Page Section - We could have a main page section with links to ongoing form applications, and this could be how we hold elections in the future, as many people see the main page. This would provide a nice notice to people, and I think that if we added a section called 'Announcements' on the main page, this could be a sub-section because, to be honest with you, most people who read your blog and comment are the same people each time. This would be better for big changes as well.

Welp, here are my ideas. These are, as I will point out again, only suggestions and you don't have to implement any of them. Just want to make our wiki a better place and if we are going to have more staff members help run it, I would like to make sure we choose the best.

I thought I would run my ideas by you first, since you made the post. However, I will pass this along to the other important staff members (Glaciersong, FlareonIsAwesome13) if you would like me to after reading.

Hope you get back to me soon,
